In short, (1) ``octal escape \057'' doesn't have special meaning in Bash glob patterns. `[\057]' means just one of a literal backslash or digits 0, 5, or 7. (2) You need to set `shopt -s extglob` to use extended glob patterns like `+(...)' and `*(...)'. Please look at the paragraph above the list of extended patterns in the manual. -- Koichi
