Arf. And guess what, that is like the 1000000000th thing that works
like I want with zsh and not with bash...
zsh : echo $array -> foo bar baz
bash : echo $array -> nothing, because it displays the first element
which is an empty string.
Anyway, I have something else, look :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ array=('' {foo,bar,baz})
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ [ -z "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ] || echo array not empty
bash: [: too many arguments
array not empty
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ [ -z "${array[*]}" ] || echo array not empty
array not empty
I never understood what the differences between @ and * were though...
Another thing, I just realized that the current code already seems to
work like we want, so this is a small issue.
We only get that "too many arguments" message which look very odd and
let us think that something probably broke.
