-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 At some point hitherto, Jerry Feldman hath spake thusly: > The shell expands all wildcards unless escaped or single quoted. That is > why you need to escape finds: > find . -name foo.\* > find . -name 'foo.*' Of course, if there is no file in the current directory that matches foo.*, it will work fine with neither quoting nor escaping. Which sometimes leads to confusion... - -- Derek Martin ddm@pizzashack.org - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
