I have a script that I want to pass multiple arguments to. These
arguments, however, need to appear with a '-r' in front of them in the
command executed inside the script. For example, if I do this:
$ example this that other
The script will need to execute
command -r this -r that -r other
One thought on this was:
#!/bin/zsh
for i
do
temp="$temp -r $i"
done
command $temp
Of course, this doesn't work because zsh passing the string inside
$temp as a single argument to the program, instead of parsing it for
words. From the man page, it sounds like ${^temp} or ${=temp} should
work, but neither does.
