Subject: B20: Bug? backslashes and stars within args of ls
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 19:45:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <D9DA0A516892D111B3410000F8CB2C4401403D61@si13838.si.bosch.de> (raw)
Message-ID: <19990331194500.ewE2R45ZLgsMwZLYmdPvk99MrqykPLy7xX0YVMYKv_s@z> (raw)
If one combines backslashes and stars within filenames as argument for ls,
the stars are NOT expanded if they occur next to a backslash:
(C:/temp/fdr is a directory containing some files.)
ok: ls c:/temp/fdr
ok: ls c:/temp/f*
ok: ls c:\\temp\\fdr
ok: ls c:\temp\fdr
not ok: ls c:\\temp\\f*
//i/programme/mm3/util/ls: c:\temp\f*: No such file or directory
not ok: ls c:\temp\f*
//i/programme/mm3/util/ls: c:tempf*: No such file or directory
ok: ls c:\\temp/f*
I'm running ls within cmd.exe from NT 4.0
I would like to call ls like
ls c:\temp/f*
i.e. with SINGLE backslash.
Maybe there is a environment variable to control cygwin's behaviour?
