I've tried seperating lines, adding more semicolons at the ends of the line or before the curly bracket BASH-style. Nothing seems to work.
I have other ternary statements in the code that work fine like:
The ternary operator returns its decision as a value, i.e. return( (x<0)?(-x):x ). If it doesn't make sense as an expression you can't cram it in there. { } blocks don't belong there.
awk: cmd. line:11: hour >= 12? hour = hour - 12
awk: cmd. line:11: ^ unexpected newline or end of
awk: cmd. line:12: hour == 0? hour = 12
awk: cmd. line:12: ^ unexpected newline or end of string
Is there some reason it works for strings and not for numbers?
I see your edit while I was posting. I don't think your code example handles midnight correctly, which is the reason I did not try to do it on one conditional.
00:00 needs to become 12:00 AM not 00:00 AM.
I'm just as interested in understanding why it is not working than finding working code.

Hi,
Can someone give me an example of how to use zsh's ternary operator?
I tried:
# a=1
# c=( a ? "true" : "false" )

zsh: no matches found: ?
