An interesting idea, but it doesn't fix the problem -- at least, adding
a couple of 'set -o posix' lines (as shown below) didn't change the
results. Actually, I wouldn't expect this to have an effect since the
'simple' match which does work also requires file globbing in the same
context...
Modified script (result unchanged):
#! /bin/sh
function DoIt {
set -o posix
set -A files $1
echo "match = '$1'"
typeset -i idx
idx=0
while [ idx -lt ${#files[*]} ] ; do
echo "files[$idx] = '${files[$idx]}'"
idx=idx+1
done
return 0
}
set -o posix
DoIt "/var/log/pf/103790/*"
echo ""
DoIt
"/var/log/pf/103790/+([a-zA-Z])+([0-9]).@(in|out).@(block|pass).@(destIP|destPort|srcIP)"
Thanks,
Dave
