That's not enough, that would fail to exclude . and .. in .*/file (and also breaks */. globs) GLOBIGNORE='?(*/)@(.|..)?(/*)' would break (common) ./* globs. So, it looks like it's not possible to get the same behaviour as in zsh/mksh/pdksh/fish/Forsyth shell (or ksh93 with FIGNORE='@(.|..)') with GLOBIGNORE after all. -- Stephane
