It isn't. Certain characters are interpreted by the Shell before the application even sees the command line. If that isn't what you want then you have to escape the metacharacter(s), using \, "" or '' (there are important differences in how each of these works). This is how all Unix shells have always worked. 'info bash' for more detail, especially the section on Shell Expansions. poc -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
