Subject: Script breaking on cd *param
Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 12:11:41 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]

Hi
The following should try to cd to a subdirectory in the 4 following ways.
cd param
cd param*
cd *param
cd *param*
However if it fails on the second the script breaks
with "no matches found: *param "
sometimes putting quotes round ${1}* seems to help
alias if_param='
if [ $# -gt 0 ]
then
if builtin cd $1 &> /dev/null ;
then
shift
elif builtin cd ${1}* &> /dev/null;
then
shift
elif builtin cd *$1 &> /dev/null;
then
shift
elif builtin cd *${1}* &> /dev/null;
then
shift
else
echo $1 not found
shift
fi
fi
