Besides TIMTOWTDI a number of operating systems have quite low limits to the number of files that get returned by a glob so if the target dir is large some files will just get omitted. Silently. Ouch. cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply]

Eek. So noted. Can you give some examples, or a pointer to more info? Sure be nice to know if my OS/shell was broken like this.... (See? I told you I'd learn something.) `-- :wq`	[reply]
