Experiments using bash indicate that either ^ or ! is accepted
as the negation of a character set. Hence,
ls -d [^tu]*
ls -d [!tu]*
both return the same thing - a list of all files and directories
in the current directory whose names do not begin with "t" or "u".
SQLite only supports ^, not !. I wonder if this is something I
should change? It would not be much trouble to get GLOB to support
both, must like the globber in bash.
Anybody have an old Bourne shell around? An authentic C-shell?
What do they do?
