Hi all,

The documentation of listfiles is not really clear to me:
    "Patterns are given to the Unix ls or to the Windows dir commands in order to get information about files." With my limited understanding of unix/linux, I thought that the wildcards (patterns) are expanded by the shell, then the result gets passed to ls.
I don't understand what patterns ls is supposed to expand here.

Anyway, here is my issue:

- in a shell, I can do :
    ls file_{10..15}.ext
  and get
    file_10.ext
    file_11.ext
    file_12.ext
    file_13.ext
    file_14.ext
    file_15.ext

- but in the same directory, this pattern does not work with listfiles under scilab:
    listfiles("file_{10..15}.ext")
     []

Does anyone know the "patterns" that are supported by listfiles under Windows, MacOS and Linux?
Should this info be added to the help file for listfiles?


Cheers,


Antoine
