RE: bash wildcard expansion

RE: bash wildcard expansion

[Puttkammer, Roman]

sorry, my example could't have been worse: i just wanted to
illustrate that the asterix was being expanded (by the shell?)
even though it's escaped.

the problem is: when invoking

	java someclass \*

the \* is being expanded to the list of files in the current
directory (the class is invoked with a list of filenames rather
than with a "*".) AFAIK that shouldn't be.

RE: bash wildcard expansion

[Chris Abbey]

as others have noted java.exe is a dos program, not a cygwin
program (a fact I really hate). Dos programs are not used to
having a shell do globing for them, so they all do it them
selves (nothing like forcing everyone to reinvent the wheel).

as you've noted however double quoting the string prevents it
being globed. That's a dos mentality though, so what you need
the input of the dos program to be is the equivalent of this
char[]: {'"','*','"'}  (actually you'll want a '\0' on the end
too....)

when you run from cmd.exe that's trivial, but you're running
from bash, a REAL POSIX SHELL, which has globing built in.
So you've got to escape out any characters that are part of
the globing formula in cygwin in order to get just the right
stuff passed on to java... both " and * are part of that, so:

java someclass \"\*\"

ugly, ain't it? Makes you wish you had a java.exe that was a
real cygwin executable doesn't it? Do me a favor... call up
your nearest IBM representative and ask for it, or drop a note
into their emailbox over at ibm.com/java and ask for it. (that
goes for anyone who's interested in this btw, just don't tell
'em I sent you. ;)

Re: bash wildcard expansion

[friedman_hill ernest j]

The answer is that java.exe, like many Win32 tools, expands
the '*' itself. Remember, COMMAND.COM doesn't expand wildcards, so
individual tools have to do it for themselves. To see this, go to a
MS-DOS prompt window and type '*'. You'll get "Bad command or file
name" -- i.e., no such file *. Now type 'java *'. You'll see a
NoClassDefFound exception naming the alphabetically first file in that
directory. Now try 'java "*"'. Now you'll get a NoClassDefFoundError
for * -- i.e., java.exe itself interpreted the quotes.

Now, given this nice explanation, I -still- can't get quite the effect
you want under bash. I expected java \"\*\" to work, but it seems that
in that case java sees the quotes as part pf the argument, and I'm not
clear why this is different that under the MS-DOS prompt.

I see. Is there any way of achieving the same under cygwin as the
following command does under dos?

	java myclass "*"

This results a litteral asterix being passed to the class. I figgured
that in this case, under cygwin one of following commands

	java myclass '"*"'
	cmd /c java test '"*"'
	cmd /c 'java test "*"'

should have the same effect. But they don't - the double quotes are
not stripped from the argument (which java.exe seems to be doing when
invoked from DOS.)

Is there any way to get the same behaviour under cygwin?

thanks,
roman

Using '"*"' in bash causes a "*" (i.e., double-quote, asterisk,
double-quote) to be passed to a program.  I just verified this with an
"echoargs" program compiled with both mingw and MSVC.  When I use a
'"*"' on the command line the mingw or msvc application sees a "*" as
its argv[0].

Or, more specifically, what the programs sees is:

c:\tmp\echoargs.exe "\"*\""

It looks like java is somehow confused by this.  I really don't
understand why it should but it still looks like a problem with the java
program to me.

Actually, on reflection, the "\"*\"" is the problem.  This is not
the same as "*", of course.  And, that's what you want.

I can't think of any way to tell cygwin to just quote an argument
with ", offhand.  I can't even think of a good way to fix this, if
it is a bug.

RE: bash wildcard expansion

[Dunn-Roberts, Richard]

It looks to me as if the reason here is that cmlistener.class is being
passed to java.  Java does not take the extension.

The correct command is > java cmlistener
What is being issued is > java cmlistener.class

Since Java uses the dot as a path separator, it is looking for
cmlistener/class.class

As to why it is working in dos, I don't know that answer to that.

I'm curious.  Why do you want to invoke the Java VM with multiple class
files on the command line.  Only the first would get executed, I think, and
the rest would be treated as command line arguments (String args[]) to the
first.

I hope i'm not getting flamed for this one, but what am I missing? A 
command line argument is being expanded by bash even though it's escaped.

  /tibrv/src/examples/java# D:/jdk1.3/bin/java.exe \*
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
cmlistener/class

"cmlistener.class" is the first filename in the directory.

Same thing if i'm using single quotes to escape. Note that java.exe does not
expand arguments itself; it works as expected from a DOS shell:

  D:\TIBCO\TIBRV\src\examples\java>java "*"
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: *

"ls '*'" or "ls \*" works as expected ("ls: *: No such file or directory".)

bash wildcard expansion

[Puttkammer, Roman]

I hope i'm not getting flamed for this one, but what am I missing? A 
command line argument is being expanded by bash even though it's escaped.

  /tibrv/src/examples/java# D:/jdk1.3/bin/java.exe \*
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
cmlistener/class

"cmlistener.class" is the first filename in the directory.

Same thing if i'm using single quotes to escape. Note that java.exe does not
expand arguments itself; it works as expected from a DOS shell:

  D:\TIBCO\TIBRV\src\examples\java>java "*"
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: *

"ls '*'" or "ls \*" works as expected ("ls: *: No such file or directory".)

The fact that you notice that ls works as expected should be a pretty
large clue.

ls.exe is a cygwin program.  java.exe is not a cygwin program.  You
can't expect jave.exe to work well with a cygwin application like bash.
In this case, java.exe is expanding the command line '*' itself, just
like any non-cygwin MS-DOS application does.
