As per my last email, I now use glob() to scan all the files in a directory.
1. The \\ bug is finally gone. There is no trouble reading the contents of a directory a\b 2. The entries are already sorted, I can remove the code that I wrote to sort them. 3. I can set a flag to show hidden files. This use to require two calls to wordexp, for * and .*, then merging the results. 4. There are only 5 literals to protect from glob: \ * ? [ ] Combine this with the above and the code is simpler and more predictable. This does not require me to replace wordexp with glob in the expansion of a filename. They are separate capabilities. However, encouraged by this early success, I will probably do it, because file expansion will also be free of the \\ bug, and will be free of all that silly escaping that I would have to do every time I use it, like the example in my documentation $phones/at\&t There would be no need for the backslash here, just write filenames intuitively.
