Ah, you're misunderstanding what's going on. GLOB_ASSIGN has the effect that v=* expands * at this point. The value of v contains all the files. GLOB_SUBST has the effect that a variable is expanded at the point where it's substituted. So without GLOB_ASSIGN, or equivalently quoting the value assigned to v, % v='*' % setopt globsubst % print $v % unsetopt globsubt % print $v * -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited Churchill House, Cambridge Business Park, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WZ, UK Member of the CSR plc group of companies.
