I am writing a zsh script, and the following line in my script fails:
rm -f ${ZT_BASE_PATH}/*_${(q)ZT_SESSION_ID}
with error
function:lineno: no matches found: /home/user/.zsh/.tmux_base/*_\$0
However, when I substitute the offending line with
rm -f /home/user/.zsh/.tmux_base/*_\$0
it succeeds, deleting the proper files. Is there a reason the globbing does not work in the first case? Here is the zsh version and setopt output:
$ zsh --version
zsh 5.0.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
