Hi I'm having a problem with globs using curly brackets and ^. I've searched the web+forum with no luck, so I'm sorry if an answer aleardy exists. I've tried the commands on a linux environment and they worked fine + I've read elsewhere that they should work in cygwin. So I assume that my config is wrong. I'm using bash 3.2.15(13)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) and I've just updated all packages. THE PROBLEM (using ls for illustration): $ ls Desktop.ini doc optimering test.txt bin music spaceninja FOLLOWING WORKS: $ ls -d {Desk*,doc*} Desktop.ini doc BUT: (I assume that the following is because it normally makes no sense) $ ls -d {Desk*} ls: cannot access {Desk*}: No such file or directory AND: (my actual problem) $ ls ^doc ls: cannot access ^doc: No such file or directory $ ls -d ^{Desk*,doc*} ls: cannot access ^Desk*: No such file or directory ls: cannot access ^doc*: No such file or directory - And yes, I'm a Linux/UNIX/Cygwin newb!
