Hello, given this test code:

test(){
setopt -L extended_glob
local glob=${(q)1}'.[0-9]##'
touch $1.1 $1.2
echo -E - $~glob
}

> test tmp

tmp.1 tmp.2

> test {tmp}

test:4: no matches found: \{tmp\}.[0-9]##

test '<tmp>'

<tmp>.1 <tmp>.2

It seems the quoting of the {} makes the expansion fail (on zsh 5.1.1)

is there any way I can quote the file name according to the glob expansion rules?

thanks

Pier Paolo Grassi
