1. where did you get this information to do that? show me some documentation on it.
2. your brain just told you it thinks it could be an escape of quotes needed.
my brain told you, "I do not know this ^com^com" therefore, I have no idea about that command. Follow your brain and be the programmer you want to be. I already explained to you twice how to do this.

Write a separate bash script and experiment with it until you get it to work then add it to your entire script when you get it working. this helps you learn and keep that in your memory better.

The example quote I gave is all the documentation I have on it as well. I got it from a physical copy of a Linux commands type book, under the "using Bash/Zsh command completion" section.. It's just a type of command completion.. I think it has to do with history expansion, so im going to look into that.. Thanks dude ill keep in mind your advice; read it over, and test it out, follow your gut, etc.. Thanks

OOOOO I C

that is Zsh I use bash perhaps this is why I was not getting anything good, just a 'bad substitution' error. I use BASH well this Void Linux using dash actually. Bash is in Slackware.

Oh lookie googled "Zsh command completion"

http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Relea...on-System.html

that is what you need to be reading up on if you are going to be using Zsh

I did do some "light" searching on the subject of difference between Zsh and Bash scripting.. Basically I found that Zsh has most features of bash, but in many cases with a different syntax. ... Now that I think of it I bet it doesn't work cause I use the bash shebang... Anyways I use Zsh as it supposedly favors the power user, and is someone smarter than bash (also probably less targeted by malware coders). Also someone said and I quote: "I've found the syntax of zsh really close to the one of bash, and I did not pay attention if there was really some incompatibilities. I switched 6 years ago from bash to zsh seamlessly".

Awesome thanks for that ima have to print that one out!

Yes. Using the bash shebang makes it use the bash shell, not the zsh shell. By definition.
