Notice that the file starting with "-p" is not listet. Here is a simpler way to show what is happening. $ touch ./-p ./xxx ./zzz $ ls * xxx zzz This is actually an FAQ. See this document for more information. Look for "How do I remove files that start with a dash?" and the next few entries there. They all cover files starting with a dash. http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/ In summary the shell is expanding the '*' file glob and the command and to the command it is looking like an option. You can verify this with the echo command. $ touch ./-p ./xxx ./zzz $ echo ls * ls -p xxx zzz Whenever you use the shell to expand file globs you must be aware of potential expansion into characters that might appear as options. This is expected. (If this were perl it would fail the taint check.) Therefore you must instruct the command that it is done with options. Or you must make sure that the file glob will not start with a dash. $ ls -- * ls -p xxx zzz Or $ ls -- ./* ls ./-p ./xxx ./zzz Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
