* is not parsed correctly
pmitchev opened this issue · comments
The following code is not working:
! /usr/bin/env bash
. ticktick.sh
DATA='{"a":"*"}'
tickParse "$DATA"
echo a
It outputs ls of the current directory. OS: MacOSX
Hah. clever clever. I bet this is just standard shell globbing. Let me
look into it now.

Ok so you are close.
There's something that needs to be documented called tickVars that may have helped you getting here.
Basically what happens is this:
#!/bin/bash
n='*'
echo $n
The * gets replaced by the variable substitution before the globber runs. In order to print just the asterisk you'll need to encapsulate that as follows
echo "$n"
As in, this is a bash-ism and therefore not my bug.
