# Description
This is a follow up to
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/11621#issuecomment-1937484322
Also Fixes: #11838
## About the code change
It applys the same logic when we pass variables to external commands:
0487e9ffcb/crates/nu-command/src/system/run_external.rs (L162-L170)
That is: if user input dynamic things(like variables, sub-expression, or
string interpolation), it returns a quoted `NuPath`, then user input
won't be globbed
# User-Facing Changes
Given two input files: `a*c.txt`, `abc.txt`
* `let f = "a*c.txt"; rm $f` will remove one file: `a*c.txt`.
~* `let f = "a*c.txt"; rm --glob $f` will remove `a*c.txt` and
`abc.txt`~
* `let f: glob = "a*c.txt"; rm $f` will remove `a*c.txt` and `abc.txt`
## Rules about globbing with *variable*
Given two files: `a*c.txt`, `abc.txt`
| Cmd Type | example | Result |
| ----- | ------------------ | ------ |
| builtin | let f = "a*c.txt"; rm $f | remove `a*c.txt` |
| builtin | let f: glob = "a*c.txt"; rm $f | remove `a*c.txt` and
`abc.txt`
| builtin | let f = "a*c.txt"; rm ($f \| into glob) | remove `a*c.txt`
and `abc.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: glob] { rm $f }; let f = "a*c.txt"; crm $f |
remove `a*c.txt` and `abc.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: glob] { rm ($f \| into string) }; let f =
"a*c.txt"; crm $f | remove `a*c.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: string] { rm $f }; let f = "a*c.txt"; crm $f |
remove `a*c.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: string] { rm $f }; let f = "a*c.txt"; crm ($f \|
into glob) | remove `a*c.txt` and `abc.txt`
In general, if a variable is annotated with `glob` type, nushell will
expand glob pattern. Or else, we need to use `into | glob` to expand
glob pattern
# Tests + Formatting
Done
# After Submitting
I think `str glob-escape` command will be no-longer required. We can
remove it.
# Description
The `cell-path` is a type that can be created statically with
`$.nested.structure.5`, but can't be created from user input. This makes
it difficult to take advantage of commands that accept a cell-path to
operate on data structures.
This PR adds `into cell-path` for dynamic cell-path creation.
`into cell-path` accepts the following input shapes:
* Bare integer (equivalent to `$.1`)
* List of strings and integers
* List of records with entries `value` and `optional`
* String (parsed into a cell-path)
## Example usage
An example of where `into cell-path` can be used is in working with `git
config --list`. The git configuration has a tree structure that maps
well to nushell records. With dynamic cell paths it is easy to convert
`git config list` to a record:
```nushell
git config --list
| lines
| parse -r '^(?<key>[^=]+)=(?<value>.*)'
| reduce --fold {} {|entry, result|
let path = $entry.key | into cell-path
$result
| upsert $path {||
$entry.value
}
}
| select remote
```
Output:
```

```
## Errors
`lex()` + `parse_cell_path()` are forgiving about what is allowed in a
cell-path so it will allow what appears to be nonsense to become a
cell-path:
```nushell
let table = [["!@$%^&*" value]; [key value]]
$table | get ("!@$%^&*.0" | into cell-path)
# => key
```
But it will reject bad cell-paths:
```
❯ "a b" | into cell-path
Error: nu:🐚:cant_convert
× Can't convert to cell-path.
╭─[entry #14:1:1]

# User-Facing Changes
`into decimal` is removed in favor of `into float`
# Tests + Formatting
# After Submitting
# Description
This new command `into value` is a command that tries to infer the type
of data you have in a table. It converts each cell to a string and then
runs a set of regular expressions on that string. This was mostly
cobbled together after looking at how polars does similar things. The
regular expressions were taken straight form polars and tweaked.
### Before
```nushell
❯ [[col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6]; ["1" "two" "3.4" "true" "2023-08-10 14:07:17.922050800 -05:00" "2023-09-19"]] |
update col1 {|r| $r.col1 | into int } |
update col3 {|r| $r.col3 | into float } |
update col4 {|r| $r.col4 | into bool } |
update col5 {|r| $r.col5 | into datetime } |
update col6 {|r| $r.col6 | into datetime }
╭#┬col1┬col2┬col3┬col4┬───col5────┬───col6────╮
│0│ 1│two │3.40│true│a month ago│8 hours ago│
╰─┴────┴────┴────┴────┴───────────┴───────────╯
```
or
```nushell
❯ [[col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6]; ["1" "two" "3.4" "true" "2023-08-10 14:07:17.922050800 -05:00" "2023-09-19"]] |
into int col1 |
into float col3 |
into bool col4 |
into datetime col5 col6
╭#┬col1┬col2┬col3┬col4┬───col5────┬───col6────╮
│0│ 1│two │3.40│true│a month ago│8 hours ago│
╰─┴────┴────┴────┴────┴───────────┴───────────╯
```
### After
```nushell
❯ [[col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6]; ["1" "two" "3.4" "true" "2023-08-10 14:07:17.922050800 -05:00" "2023-09-19"]] | into value
╭#┬col1┬col2┬col3┬col4┬───col5────┬───col6────╮
│0│ 1│two │3.40│true│a month ago│8 hours ago│
╰─┴────┴────┴────┴────┴───────────┴───────────╯
```
It's definitely not perfect. There are ways it will fail because on
regular expressions not working on all formats. My hope is that people
will pick this up and add more regular expressions and if there are
problems with the existing ones, change them. This is meant as a
"starter command" with easy entry for newcomers that are looking to chip
in and help out.
Also, some tests probably need to be added to ensure what we have now
doesn't break with updates.

# Description
We keep "into decimal" for a release and warn through a message that it
will be removed in 0.86.
All tests are updated to use `into float`
# User-Facing Changes
`into decimal` raises a deprecation warning, will be removed soon.
Use `into float` as the new functionally identical command instead.
```

# Description
Address part of feature request #7337, add a small command `into
cellpath` to allow string -> cellpath auto-conversion, with this change,
we could run
```
let p = 'ls.use_ls_colors'
$env.config | upsert ($p | nito cellpath) false
```

Note - This pr only covers `String` -> `CellPath`, any other conversions
should be considered as expected?

It also converts dates into record but I couldn't get the test harness
to accept an example.
