No, '*' is perfectly fine a character on POSIX systems. It's not valid on FAT and NTFS usually. I'm wondering what the problem is. Listing the "*" subdir works fine for me: $ find /proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/* /proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/OpenWithList /proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/shellex /proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/InfoTip /proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/QuickTip /proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/AlwaysShowExt /proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/TileInfo /proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.323 [...] Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Red Hat, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
