I like the default in zsh for failed glob patterns (which errorswhen no
file matches the pattern).

For example:
% rm file1.* file2.*
zsh: no matches found: file1.*
zsh never executes rm (which is fine). Additionially I would liketo getrid of the error message in a script. Unfortunately redirectingstderrdoes not work (because rm is never executed). Is there a way tokeep the
default and to suppress the error?!
The answer is to use rm -f in your scripts.

Actually unless the no_nomatch option is set, rm -f non-existent-file*will still cause zsh to tell you there's no match. Although withno_nomatch set you will not need to redirect STDERR to suppress theerror that rm would give you.
