The MS-Windows way of globbing is described at MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vclang/html/_pluslang_Parsing_C.2b2b_.Co mmand.2d.Line_Arguments.asp >From this description it seems that your example should work; also native >commands, such as dir, do expand the * when inside quotes. So possibly this behaviour of cp and other coreutils programs, is a bug, either in the Gnuwin32 port or in some system library, such as msvcrt.dll. Other MS-Windows ports, such as Cygwin, Djgpp and Unixutils, have the same behaviour, so I suspect it is a bug of some system library. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
