matching all files which do not have a dot in filename

matching all files which do not have a dot in filename

[Julius Plenz]

Hi,

I have some problems when I try to match all files which include no
dot in their filename...

I just want zsh to do this:  Move all files which have no extension to
<former filename>.html.

First I thought of this: **/*~*.* - but that doesn't work since it
includes sub-directories which I dont want to get matched. So I tried
**/*(.)~*.* to just match files - but zsh says that doesn't work.

Anny suggestions?  TIA!

Julius

With EXTENDED_GLOB set: [^.]#

Did you try **/*~*.*(.) ?  I think you have the glob qualifier in the 
wrong place.  However, that will omit all files underneath directories 
with dots in the directory name, which may not be what you meant.

Or **/[^.]#(.) for all such plain files in the tree.

    And, how about **/(*~*.*)(.)? I've tested here with subdirs
having dots in their names and _seems_ to work...

    Shorter and simpler ;)

    Try (if you want recursion at all) **/*~*.*(.) The glob modifier
affects the entire glob expression, so the above means 'match all
files no matter its name except if they have a dot in their name'.

    Hope that helps :) (here does).
