What's happening is that the shell is expanding *\/, which shouldn't match any file name unless you've gone to the trouble of creating a file with '/' in its name.

I don't understand why it doesn't. However Kim Poulsen found a command that does work: ls -F | egrep \/ It seems that this is a question on pattern matching. It seems to me that a directory which is mached by: \/ should also be matched by *\/ and .*\/ Maybe I will understand the difference in interpretations as I become more familiar with Cygwin.
