Re: Why approximate pattern doesn't match?

[Sebastian Gniazdowski <sgniazdowski@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello again,
it appears that the approximate matching works only for first word in
the *~^* sequence:

a=( "git push" )
pattern1='git*~^*pash*'
pattern2='pash*~^*git*'
echo "${(@M)a:#(#ia2)*$~pattern1*}"
-> [nothing]
echo "${(@M)a:#(#ia2)*$~pattern2*}"
-> git push

Any solution?

Best regards,
Sebastian Gniazdowski
