Subject: Re: Can globbing be disabled from MS-DOS?
Date: Mon, 03 Nov 1997 05:31:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <01bce6ee$e4fc82d0$f5528989@prog017744070-3.boeing.com> (raw)

File name expansion (globbing) under MSDOS is handled inside each
individual program.  As such a '.*' inside a sed expressions should not
be visible to the globbing routines.

Can you send an example where '.*' is getting expanded when you don't
want it to?
