Command line globbing under Win32by Jenda (Abbot) |
on Jul 10, 2002 at 16:29 UTC ( [id://180784]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
Jenda has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: I know cmd.exe and command.com do not do the command line globbing (pass the process the filemask instead of a list of files that match it), I know what to do with it (see my G.pm module.) What I would like to know is what other shells do not do the globbing? I'd think 4NT doesn't do it, what others? What exactly will be in $ENV{COMSPEC} if you use that shell? The reason I am asking is that I would like the G.pm to know whether the globbing was already done by the shell or not. Of course this can never be 100%, but anyway. Jenda P.S.: I'd like to ask the Unixers to ignore this question. I do not want any "Unix vs. Windows" flame war. I only want responses from Windozers that use (or know of) something else than cmd.exe or command.com. Thanks.
