z does not work on folder names with parantheses

[donjar]

Steps to reproduce

1. mkdir ~/\(whatever\)
2. z ~/\(whatever\)

Expected result

It changes directory to ~/(whatever)

Actual result

'/home/donjar/(whatever)' did not match any results⏎

Versions

Looks like awk prints out the result in single quotes if the string has brackets in it:

after tweaking z to print $target:

❯ z what                                                                                         12:36:58 PM 
'/home/jethro/(whatever)'

❯ z code                                                                                         12:37:27 PM 
/home/jethro/Documents/Code

not sure how to fix this properly.

What about running it though string escape?

❯ string escape -n '/home/jethro/(whatever)'
/home/jethro/\(whatever\)

[jethrokuan]

how would you pass the quoted string to string escape? i.e.

set -l test "'test'"

how to transform $test into a string without quotes?

[externl]

There's also:

❯ z ~\(
awk: illegal primary in regular expression ~( at
 input record number 1, file /Users/joe/.local/share/z/data
 source line number 51
``

[externl]

Maybe the arg should be escaped before being passing into awk (I haven't looked the impl)?

@donjar should be fixed by #72 , you can try it now!

[jethrokuan]

Should be fixed now, closing.
