From: Paul DOT Moore AT uk DOT origin-it DOT com (Moore, Paul) Subject: Case sensitivity in filenames 23 Dec 1998 08:42:22 -0800 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "'Gnu Win32'" Hi, I can't believe that this isn't a FAQ, but I've looked and can't find it. I've just installed cygwin B20.1, and it appears that the commands are treating files case-sensitively. In particular, if I do (from COMMAND.COM) "ls *.zip" I get a list of zip files in the current directory. But if I do "ls *.ZIP" I get nothing! Now, I understand that Unix filenames are case sensitive, but Windows ones aren't and so I would expect the command to produce the same results in both cases (or at least for there to be an option to make this happen). But it appears not... Can anybody suggest what I'm missing? My CYGWIN environment variable is not set at all. Should I set something in it? The documentation doesn't show anything which looks relevant. Thanks, Paul Moore - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
