Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.2-25
Severity: normal
Here is an example of the problem. I am trying to append something to
every element of an array.
$ A=(b c)
Prepending is straightforward, I do a substitution matching the "#"
pattern for matching the start of a string:
$ echo ${A//#/x}
xb xc
$ echo ${A/#/x}
xb xc
$ echo ${(S)A/#/x}
xb xc
However, when I use "%" to match the end of a string, it only works
for appending text in the third kind of substitution ("substitute
shortest match").
$ echo ${A//%/x} # BAD
b c
$ echo ${A/%/x} # BAD
b c
$ echo ${(S)A/%/x} # OK
bx cx
This seems to contradict the documentation.
Thank you.
