Hello,
Given
host% jobs
[1] Stopped foo a
[2] Stopped foo b
How can I bring either job fg by using fg %string? I do not know what
the difference between the two jobs are only that they are different.
Meaning I can't do `fg %?a`. What I would like to do is something like
fg %foo a
fg '%foo a'
fg %'foo a'
I tried evaling the previous examples but that doesn't work. Double
quotes don't help either. I always get one of the following:
fg: Ambiguous.
fg: No such job.
Please don't suggest that I modify the string some way, I can't. That
includes taking subparts.
Thank you
