Thanx JWTDO

but did you forget the dollars on $param?

function cdc()
{
local str
local param=$1
local -a dirs
echo $param
for str in $param $param\* \*$param \*$param\*; do
  # Expands to all matching directories, else nothing.
     dirs=(${~str}(N/))
       if (( ${#dirs} == 1 )); then
           cd $dirs
               break
                 fi
                 done
  
}
