because 1) I asked for a shell specific solution (=> we're talking about bash, aren't we?) 2) modifying file globbing is much less overhead than having to invoke two extra commands 3) modifiying file globbing has the advantage that this works for all other commands that use the globbing features - which is IMHO very useful. happy hacking. udo
