Bash Version: 5.1 Patch Level: 4 Release Status: release Description: A wildcard expression after a negate extglob construct is not returning right results. Steps Consider the following files and assume, that I want to exclude files ending with 8 shopt -s extglob touch atop_20210330 atop_20210427 atop_20210428 ls -1 atop_20210@(3|4)+([0-4])!(8) atop_20210330 atop_20210427 But when I add an extra * at the end of the expression like ls -1 atop_20210@(3|4)+([0-4])!(8)* atop_20210330 atop_20210427 atop_20210428 Why is it the case? Shouldn't the glob expression just serve the !(8) pattern to exclude and simply do a no-op for the extra * character? -- Regards, INIAN VASANTH P
