(For more info on these options, read `man bash'.) $ echo ignoring:$GLOBIGNORE options:$- $ shopt | grep glob If GLOBIGNORE includes *.htm or the builtin set includes -f, bash will not expand *, but instead looks for the literal file named "ass*", which does not exist. I'm also guessing that nullglob is off, otherwise bash would expand the failed * into no arguments at all, which would cause a full directory listing, rather than passing the literal string with * on to ls. -- Eric Blake -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
