C shell on Solaris 9 gives an error on echo [!c]* as it considers the !c to be an event specification. Tcsh the same. Ksh treats echo [^c]* the same as echo c* but does "the right thing" with echo [!c]* bash treats the two the same (as all names starting with a character other than lower-case 'c'). -- James ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
