I'm running a normal Unix type shell - the quotes get stripped by the shell before they get to the sub-process. What I'm betting on (without having seen the cygwin source code) is that the crt0 (or whatever gets run before main() is called) is detecting whether or not it is being run by something that expands glob patterns (e.g. the cygwin bash). I'm guessing that the pre-main() code in find.exe is deciding that it got run by command.com or something that doesn't expand glob patterns. My zsh shell (from ftp://ftp.blarg.net/users/amol/ ) IS expanding glob patterns and find.exe (possibly by way of this pre-main() code) IS also expanding the glob patterns it sees. So, I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to let cygwin-built programs know that the parent shell already does expand the glob patterns. -- Scott Blachowicz - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
