Subject: Filename globbing/wildcards
Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2000 01:46:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D28FD8408F7D111B1CF00600850BEE80154A4E3@irldub700nts.ie.fid-intl.com> (raw)

Hi,

I've just started using the 1.0 Cygwin CD release.

I have a problem with filename globbing.  A single * expands correctly to
give all filenames.

But any variation on this (such as a* or *a) gives the error "Filename too
long", whether or not there are files that match the pattern.

Any suggestions?
