Re: [LIH] A couple of questions.
hi list one more thing , ls * in the current directory is listing the contents of my directory recursively on my machine. how is that ?( using bash ) something like echo */* . for i would expect ls * to list only the files in current directories + the directory names ..

[shridhar@neptune Gold]$ ls -R *.cbl ls: *.cbl: No such file or directory No, ls -R does list recursively but the parameters must make sense. Here *.cbl implies that you are looking for some files ending with .cbl in the current directory. If you want to do what I think you wish to , use find command like "find . -name *.cbl -ls " or you can use grep to "grep" the pattern. Enjoy life.
