I'll resist the urge to say something to the affect that everyone knows what the
unix regular expressions do (wildcards, patterns, etc.); however there are many
other unix/linux programs/utilities which - when presented with a pathname
containing wildcards which does NOT match any existing pathname - treat the
filename as a literal filename and create it. (For instance go to an empty
directory. type "> x.???.y" . Bingo - you have a file named "x.???.y")
The point which I thought I made to begin with is that if this is the behaviour
of OOo, then it should be documented somewhere. Otherwise it becomes by default
a bug. If it is documented and I missed it, then shame on me; but having read
most of the docs for both OOo and staroffice, I haven't seen it yet... :-(
(sorry).
This is not a gripe - and to leave it "as is" is OK (since a workaround exists)
- but it should be PREOPERLY DOCUMENTED in that case since the behaviour differs
from - and is therefore inconsistant with - that of many other common utilities.
