Hi,
I'm running cygwin on Windows 10, using UTF8 in English. I run cygwin bash
inside a cygwin mintty terminal. I've noticed a minor problem when using
cygstart with wildcard parameters.
I type:
cygstart *.??p
If there is a matching file then everything works as I expect. However if there
is no matching file I get an error message as follows:
Unable to start '.p': The specified file was not found.
When I look at this using the "od" command I see the following:
$ cygstart *.??p 2>&1 | od -tx1 -c
0000000 55 6e 61 62 6c 65 20 74 6f 20 73 74 61 72 74 20

0000040 68 65 20 73 70 65 63 69 66 69 65 64 20 66 69 6c

e w a s n o t f o u n d .
0000100 0a
\n
0000101
It looks to me like cygstart is not outputting the correct UFT-8 for either the
* character or the ? character. I think this is a bug.
Thanks,
John Vincent.
