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.
