Hi
I'm having a problem with globs using curly brackets and ^.
I've searched the web+forum with no luck, so I'm sorry if an answer
aleardy exists.
I've tried the commands on a linux environment and they worked fine + I've
read elsewhere that they should work in cygwin.
So I assume that my config is wrong. I'm using bash 3.2.15(13)-release
(i686-pc-cygwin) and I've just updated all packages.
THE PROBLEM (using ls for illustration):
$ ls
Desktop.ini doc optimering test.txt
bin music spaceninja
FOLLOWING WORKS:
$ ls -d {Desk*,doc*}
Desktop.ini doc
BUT: (I assume that the following is because it normally makes no sense)
$ ls -d {Desk*}
ls: cannot access {Desk*}: No such file or directory
AND: (my actual problem)
$ ls ^doc
ls: cannot access ^doc: No such file or directory
$ ls -d ^{Desk*,doc*}
ls: cannot access ^Desk*: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access ^doc*: No such file or directory
- And yes, I'm a Linux/UNIX/Cygwin newb!
Regards
Jens Rasmussen
