From: bruce bedouglas@earthlink.net
goat a bunch of files in different dirs.. the files might have spaces 1foo_ aa_bb_cc.dog 2foo_aa_bbbb_cc.dog 3foo_aa_bb _ccc.dog 4foo_aa_bb_cc.dog 5foo_aa_bb_cc.dog 6foo_aa_bb_cc.dog i'm trying to figure out how i can do a complete list of all files with *foo*dog so i get the files with spaces and underlines... i thought simply doing somehting like ls '*foo_*.dog' and surrounding the filename with single quotes would work.. but it doesn't. thoughts/pointers/etc...
If you quote, it disables the completion...
$ echo *foo_*.dog 2foo_aa_bbbb_cc.dog 4foo_aa_bb_cc.dog 5foo_aa_bb_cc.dog 6foo_aa_bb_cc.dog
$ echo '*foo_*.dog' *foo_*.dog
