Hi, I'm using zsh for some time but I just needed to put an exclamation point inside double quotes and I get something wierd: $ echo "abc ! def" abc ! def $ echo "abc !" dquote> " abc $ echo "abc !! def" echo "abc echo "abc " def" abc echo abc zsh: command not found: def What's wrong with those exclamation points, and why do they get evaluated ?
