Subject: unexpected wildcard issue
Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2007 23:51:32 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070308045130.66826.qmail@smasher.org> (raw)
### create some "xyz" file
$ touch {1..10}.xyz
### check that they're there, using a wildcard
$ ls *xyz
0.xyz 1.xyz 10.xyz 2.xyz 3.xyz 4.xyz 5.xyz 6.xyz 7.xyz
8.xyz 9.xyz
### create another file with a leading dash in the filename
$ touch ./-11.xyz
### check again, with a wildcard
$ ls *xyz
ls: illegal option -- .
usage: ls [-ABCFGHILPRSTWZabcdfghiklmnopqrstuwx1] [file ...]
:::::::::::
should the shell protect expanded file names, as if they were entered in
quotes?
