Question

In zsh, how do I pass anonymous arrays into functions? e.g. looking for something like:

foo() {   echo ${1[2]} '\n'; }  a=(abc def ghi) foo $a  --> def 

Or ideally:

foo (abc def ghi) 

Answer 1

Figured out a workaround:

foo() {   local a=$1   local b=$2    echo ${(j:---:)${=b}}    foreach d in ${${=b}}   do       echo $d   done } 

Where parameter2 is a string of white-separated text, e.g. ‘a badkljf odod’
