I wonder why you can't implement an easy workaround using ls or something. filename="`ls *zip | head -n 1`" nc 10.0.0.1 12345 < "$filename" do_something_else < "$filename" Yeah. Just avoid the glob on the redirection and instead get the filename before that. Any difficulty? _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
