From: dg_ellis AT ccm DOT jf DOT intel DOT com (David Ellis) Subject: globbing feature in 17.1 when not under bash issue (bug) 21 Feb 1997 16:23:32 -0800 Approved: cygnus DOT gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: <330E1D93.789F.cygnus.gnu-win32@ccm.jf.intel.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (WinNT; I) Original-To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I don't remember where I read this, but I remember that a new feature of 17.1 (possibly earlier) was to make globing work on command lines if the program was not invoked under bash. Seems to me that quoting of arguments was overlooked. Here is the test case find . -name '*.doc' Works great under bash but does a glob under cmd.exe and comes up with an effective comand line like: find . -name barf.doc two.doc more.doc which is not very valid for find syntax.
