Oops. Your Reply-To: will sucker *me* and possibly others into breaking netiquitte. Therefore I must first address this before getting to your your bug report. This may sound harsh but I am really just trying help and have no other way to word it. Was it intentional for you to set your Reply-To: to the cooker list? If so then you should have CC'd that list with your first posting. There was no need to set reply-to to that list, a simple CC would have been the right thing to do. I am not subscribed over there and it is not appropriate to have my reply to your message be the start of a thread. Your message should have been the start of the thread and my message a reply to it. If you were trying to avoid getting a copy of the message yourself then the Mail-Followup-To: header is the right header to use in that case. See the cooker FAQ for more information on cooker bug reporting guidelines. Specifically this section. http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/cookerfaq.php3 ...send your bug report as a message to the Cooker mailing list with a CC to the current maintainer of the package... Therefore I ignored your header since I believe it was a mistake. You have my permission to forward this message to the cooker list yourself if you desire. > Just discovered today that rm support classes like rm *[aeiou]* > Could this special case be added in the man page? > Maybe ranges too if they are supported. > =-= > kk1 Thanks for the bug report report. But I think you are confused. Those metacharacters are expanded by the shell and not by rm. Try using 'echo' to see what they expand to before being handed to rm. echo *[aeiou]* Remember that 'echo' is a shell builtin. This type of example is contained completely within the shell and no external commands are called. This way you can see exactly what the shell is doing before calling a command. Read the shell man page and look for the "Pattern Matching" section for more information. man bash HTH Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
