Hi,
I found the following line in Posix (Shell Command Language, Pattern
Matching Notation, Patterns Matching a Single Character):
A bracket expression starting with an unquoted circumflex
character produces unspecified results.
That would mean that you should not use '.[^.]*' to find hidden files.
Instead it is stated to use '.[!.]*', which does not work in Zsh:
yooden@eumel % ls .[!.]*
zsh: event not found: .]
('.[\!.]*' works though.)
I sense a disturbance in the Force here. Why does Zsh not follow Posix
here? What am I missing?
Thorsten
