Subject: Inconsistence on file operation when the name already exists with exe extension
Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2012 20:03:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BLU152-W250F4120B3650DBD65E5D2CEEC0@phx.gbl> (raw)
On an empty dir:
touch file.exetouch file.imgtouch file doesn't create the corresponding file.
Then
touch helppcp helpp file
cp: can't create regular file «file»: File exists
On rm file it removes the file.exe instead of saying file not found.
Is this behavior intended? This is not unix like, the filename should be preserved as is.
