[Cialug] [Even more OT][OT]: Shell script globbing

[Jeff Chapin]

 I have to chime in here and say that I love the user and hostnames.

What shell are you using?

ksh doesn't seem to have any issue with your first attempt:

cthulu at rlyeh> touch file.bad
cthulu at rlyeh> if [ -e *.bad ]; then echo bad; fi;
bad
cthulu at rlyeh> touch file2.bad
cthulu at rlyeh> touch file3.bad
cthulu at rlyeh> if [ -e *.bad ]; then echo bad; fi;
bad
cthulu at rlyeh> echo $SHELL
/bin/ksh
