Subject: Dired and wildcards
Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2007 10:43:43 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ulkegqths.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
Suppose you have a directory named "foo[bar]". From a Bash prompt,
"ls foo[bar]" will show the contents of that directory, unless there
are files that match the wildcard "foo[bar]". If there are such
files, `ls' shows me those files, not the directory. This is
expected, given the way Bash handles wildcards.
But from Emacs on GNU/Linux, "C-x d foo[bar] RET" _always_ shows the
contents of the directory foo[bar]. Is there any way to tell Dired
that the argument is a wildcard, not a literal file name? What am I
missing?
TIA
