Also, you neglect to say what environment this is failing under. Are you trying this command from bash? cmd.exe? You need to give us more info. cheers, -Matt -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?

Cygwin is a UNIX emulation, remember? Try "wc -l /postbox/ctm/ctm*.*". cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?

Put in a wildcard, and it fails. I assume the presence of the wildcard activates globbing routines but a backslash alone does not? Is this what you mean? I think there is also a problem with the /tmp/ctm*.* form. It cannot match the file /tmp/ctm040701 because this file name does not contain the literal dot that is present in the wildcard form.
