Sorry, I did not intend to open a new thread.
I don't know how to answer you about the actual contents of the
directory of interest. It's my c:\users\rob\Documents directory.
There are a lot of files there. I'm writing my own version of the dir
command, one that will sort and behave exactly as I want. I decided to
experiment w/ the new library definitions; and discovered that DirEntry
is not a replacement for FileInfo. I thought that was the intent of the
Go team, but I guess did not understand. In my code I went back to
using Lstat, and instead of ioutil.ReadDir, I now use
f, err := os.Open(directoryname)
if err != nil { blah blah blah}
files, err := f.Readdir(0)
if err != nil { blah blah blah}
And this works for me.

I don't understand why you opened a new thread. But FWIW, it would
still be useful to know
a) what the actual contents of the directory are you are globbing
b) which of those file names is then giving you an error
c) and which specific call is returning that error.
Your message "Unexpected error from os.DirEntry" is confusing, as the
only method of os.DirEntry that could return an error, hardcodes that
error to be nil, as far as I can tell:
https://github.com/golang/go/blob/b3896fc331c36a539f825f1f656cef3f9cdffd3f/src/os/dir_windows.go#L68

In the other thread, I also tried to provide a plausible explanation
from the limited info - it seems strange that you are globbing for
*.txt files and then call ReadDir with those filenames. Have you read
that message?

As the subject line says, this is on windows.
I'm getting the file not found error for every file returned by
the glob function.
I guess I misunderstood the purpose of ReadDir, and I really need
to call os.Lstat to retrieve the directory information for each
individual file that matches the glob pattern on widows 10.
I'll check, but I'm able to call os.ReadDir on an individual file
on Ubuntu 20.04. I'll confirm when I get home that I'm getting a
FileInfo structure returned from this routine
