For all that I know, you can only search an array for a pattern (and even then, the pattern is a glob and not a regexp), but you can not create a subarry by providing a filtering expression. – user1934428 Jun 22 '20 at 10:00

@user1934428 Thanks. What is the syntax for the zsh glob array search? – XDR Jun 22 '20 at 12:36

`${array[(I)$value]}` yields the index where $value matches the array element. – user1934428 Jun 23 '20 at 14:48
