I'm trying to use the the [] character range to substitute for embeddedparenthesis as in the following:


% echo ${x:gs/[()]/_/}

But This isn't working for some reason. It's not complaining aboutsyntax, so I'm pretty sure that I'm using the character range []incorrectly somehow.


Any help appreciated.
