Subject: ? in filename matching
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 1997 11:05:11 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.NXT.3.96.970610110224.12669A-100000@cc344191-a> (raw)
I just made a bunch of changes to my setopts and one of them seems to have
a side effect I didn't realize or understand.
If I have a bunch of files
file.1234
file.abdf
file.MEME
and I want to match them all, I thought I did 'ls file.????' (to get
just the files named 'file.' with 4 characters after the .)
now I get 'file.???? not found'
I know this is going to be super easy and you'll wonder why I couldn't
figure it out, but there it is....
