You still need to quote wildcards on the command line when you invoke the script, too. Either quote ' or " should work on the command line. Only double quotes " will do the right thing inside the script. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com
