I've been using the Z Shell since I was a graduate student many years ago. Zsh has so many features that I'm always discovering something new. This week I discovered that you can run a substitution on the value of a parameter. To do this, you use
${PARAMETERNAME/pattern/replacement}
I guess I need to try and read the whole zsh manual again...
Works in plain old POSIX

sh, too. You gain portability regardless of shell variant (as long as it implements a respectable subset of the POSIX spec.)Posted by chewie at Wed Apr 27 06:05:55 2005
Zsh is wonderful, but too large too digest in one sitting. Just a couple of weeks ago I discovered vared, a great built-in command that I now use constantly to modify any shell variable in-place, e.g. "vared path", "vared manpath", etc...
