--------------enigE5F42622652AA38DBD944D18 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I noticed the following behaviour: (found by my favorite testcase ;) ) $ rm -rf foo* ; touch foo.exe $ test -e foo && echo found foo found foo $ test -e foo.exe && echo found foo.exe found foo.exe Hmm, how can I test if foo exists without also looking at foo.exe? Does this count as a bug in test? My current workaround is $ find . -maxdepth 1 -name foo -exec echo _XfoundX_ \; | grep _XfoundX_ > /dev/null && echo found foo but that is a bit ugly.
