This happens because all arguments that start with a '-' are parsed as an option. In this can -file means the same as -f -i -l -e. The ls command does not know the argument '-e'. If you make the file -fil instead of -file you can see better what happens. To prevent ls from parsing the argument a options you can use "--" as you can read in the documentation. For example: ls -- *file -- Marco _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
