The syntax is similar to a +tt([)...tt(]) expression in filename generation: +`tt(-)' is treated specially to denote a range of characters, but `tt(^)' or +`tt(!)' as the first character is treated normally. For example, +`tt({abcdef0-9})' expands to 16 words tt(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f). Note that brace expansion is not part of filename generation (globbing); an expression such as tt(*/{foo,bar}) is split into two separate words |
