Split string with zsh as in Python
- by Olivier
In python:
s = '1::3'
a = s.split(':')
print a[0] # '1' good
print a[1] # '' good
print a[2] # '3' good
How can I achieve the same effect with zsh?
The following attempt fails:
s="1::3"
a=(${(s/:/)s})
echo $a[1] # 1
echo $a[2] # 3 ?? I want an empty string, as in Python
