Re: Problem with named directories

[Mika Seppänen <cooz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I write yesterday about problems with named directories. If I have 
following definations in my zshenv-file:

export foo="/home/user/dir/bar"
export bar="/fome/user/dir/bar/"

Both work with cd-command, but only foo expands correctly to ~foo (from 
%~ defination in prompt/title/etc). I write simple patch which changes 
cmpdir-function so that it returns zero when only difference between 
strings A and B is that A's last character is slash.

 }

Trailing slashs is removed to ensure that later use of that string 
wouldn't cause overflow.
