file_search to expand shell variables... without breaking the other options.
example:
given that my
$EDITOR
isemacs
, I have the files.emacs .emacs-places .emacs.d/ .emacs~
in$HOME
.So
ff=file_search('${HOME}/.${EDITOR}*',count=nf,/mark,/match_initial_dot
gives
/home/gildas/.emacs /home/gildas/.emacs-places /home/gildas/.emacs.d/ /home/gildas/.emacs~
the
/mark
etc options are honored byglob()
