Re: [ BUG ] Parameter expansion issue on a defined as an empty string variable, using the "NO UNSET" flag.

[Clément BARRET <rotogluon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

as already stated at the end of my previous message, the zsh version is: zsh
5.0.2 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) .

Same behavior with zsh -f indeed.

Regards,


              RotoGluOn
