Hi all,
I'm migrating from bash to zsh. It hasn't been so bad because I'm sort of new
to shell programming anyways ( though I did have "fun" figuring out that zsh
arrays start incrementing from 1 as opposed to bash's 0 :). I thought I'd
share the latest hiccup...
Why can't I pipe the output of 'jobs' thusly?
% zsh --version
zsh 4.0.7 (alpha--netbsd)
% sleep 100
^Z
zsh: suspended sleep 100
% sleep 100
^Z
zsh: suspended sleep 100
% jobs
[1] suspended pine
[2] - suspended sleep 100
[3] + suspended sleep 100
% jobs | while read line; do echo $line; done
%
I expect the output of last sequence of commands to be more or less the same
to the sequence before it, as under bash. How can I approximate the bashlike
behavior I expect under zsh?
Thanks for any insight,
Gerald.
