I'm trying to troubleshoot a script that works with bash but fails with zsh,
and it uses the "regex match" operator. What's wrong with this expression?

    [[ "foo" ~= "x" ]]&&  echo true

Fails with "zsh: condition expected: ~="

You wrote ~= instead of =~

Ooops. Error copy'n'pasting. The actual line in the script that fails is:

     if [[ ! "${PATH}" =~ $regex ]] ; then

where "regexp" is:

      regex="^([^:]*:)*${rvm_bin_path}(:[^:]*)*$"

Fails how?

Sorry. Fails with "condition expected: =~"
