Hi All,
I am trying to list all *.raku programs with
the "run" command (I am updating my "run"
keeper with examples):
<RunTest.raku>
#!/usr/bin/raku
# my @args = "ls", "-al", Q[RunTest.raku];
my @args = "ls", "-al", Q[*.raku];
my $p = run( |@args, :err, :out );
my int $x = $p.exitcode;
my Str $y = $p.err.slurp(:close);
my Str $z = $p.out.slurp(:close);
say "\@args = <" ~ @args ~ ">";
print "\$z = <$z>\n";
</RunTest.raku>
result:
@args = <ls -al *.raku>
$z = <>
The commented out @args line does work.
How do I send a wild card to "run"?
Yours in Confusion,

According to search.brave.com's AI, I can't send
wild card to "run". I have to use "shell":

To send a wildcard to the run command in Raku, you need to
use the shell function instead of run, as run does not
perform shell expansion of wildcards like * or ?. The
shell function invokes the system shell, which handles
wildcard expansion.
I can always filter with starts-with, contains, ends-with.
Is there a trick to get somethings equivalent to a wild
card into "run"?
