Subject: Globbing bug?
Date: 07 Jun 1996 20:21:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <kig3f47mq5e.fsf@jagor.srce.hr> (raw)
I have found the following problem with globbing of symlinks pointing
to a directory:
Script started on Fri Jun 07 20:15:00 1996
jagor% ls -l
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hniksic f2 1 Jun 7 20:14 somefile -> /
-rw-r--r-- 1 hniksic f2 43 Jun 7 20:15 typescript
jagor% cd s*e/
cd: no such file or directory: s*e/
jagor% cd s*e
jagor% /bin/pwd
/
That is, when symlink points to a directory, it will not be globbed if
it has a trailing /. This is especially annoying when writing
something like:
jagor% cd site-lisp/g*a/lisp
and it fails (although g*a completes uniquely by itself in site-lisp
directory), because gnus-beta is a symbolic link to gnus-5.2.10.
Ksh and bash do not seem to have this problem, whereas plain sh
behaves like zsh.
