I added a battery function to my vim statusline here's a link. It displays my battery correctly in vim and if I run $ acpi | grep -oP "(d+)%" it returns some number followed by the percent sign (as expected). I decided to update my zshrc since it prints better than the cut I was using:



bat () acpi 
PROMPT="%t | %(bat) | %d
$ "


However, what I end up with is:



7:22PM | 89[m | /home/rain
$


How do I get the [m to print as a %? Or can I drop it altogether and just have the digit print?
