Wildcards not working

2002-10-27 Thread mike
I am trying to cd into a directory referenced by a value in a list with wildcards like shell command ls test* or cd test* however nothing seems to work, I have tried amongst others $dir9= system(ls $dir1.*\$); opendir(DIRLIST,.); $dir9=grep$dir1.*\$, readdir DIRLIST -- Linux, Gnome what more do
