Legitimately angry at this. If I copy/paste it from the script to a terminal verbatim, it works.
COMPUTERS.
Also no, I'm not going to do it in another language.
This is trivial automation scripting for a cron job, I just have to make sure the processing toolchain doesn't run on files before certain conditions are met.
Same thing if I use pattern replacement like ${BLAH/#+(0)/}
Yes, I could just use sed or something for this, but now this is bothering me. It should work?
(I really just need it to not treat numbers like goddamn octal for filenames that often have leading zeroes)
Okay, uh, I involuntarily clench my teeth a lot (2018!) and it definitely feels like my bite sits differently now.
And that might be like, pushing a couple of my front teeth slightly out of place? Is that even a thing that can happen? It doesn't feel great.
I can't go to hell - I'm all out of vacation days.
Birds are good. Computers are bad. I'm too old for this.
