/bin/sh seems not to expanding metacharacters in filenames used for I/O redirection: $ /bin/sh $ ls -l $ touch bbb $ echo test > b* $ ls -l total 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 luigi wheel 5 Mar 16 01:20 b* -rw-r--r-- 1 luigi wheel 0 Mar 16 01:20 bbb $ By contrast, csh and bash do the right thing: bash-2.05a$ ls -l bash-2.05a$ touch bbb bash-2.05a$ echo test > b* bash-2.05a$ ls -l total 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 luigi wheel 5 Mar 16 01:24 bbb Is it a feature or a bug ? cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
