Haskell" To: Zsh Users Subject: noglob + find Message-ID: User-Agent: Alpine 2.01 (LNX 1266 2009-07-14) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; format=flowed; charset=US-ASCII At some point recently, I gave in and tried 'noglob' (usually preferring to quote things explicitly, even if it caused occasional annoyance). But now I've run into trouble with: alias find='noglob find' $ find /tmp/tmp.* -name *.c -mtime -1 find `/tmp/tmp.*': No such file or directory Is there a nice way to specify 'noglob'-like behavior for the arguments after the first dashed argument? So that I can specify glob patterns as the directories, but not have to quote the 'find' patterns? -- Best, Ben
