Re^7: s// All Files In Directory

A wild guess: On Windows, you used to have to use *.* to match all files, while a single * would only match files with no extension. Is that still the case?

~~Yes.~~ Update:No. "" matches all files and "." the files with extension as shown below. With the files Text1.txt, Text2 and Test in the ordner C:/TEMP/TEMP/TEMP: `C:\Perl\bin>perl -le "BEGIN{@ARGV=map{glob}@ARGV;}print for @ARGV" C:/ +TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/.* C:/TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/Text1.txt C:/TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/Text2.txt C:\Perl\bin>perl -le "BEGIN{@ARGV=map{glob}@ARGV;}print for @ARGV" C:/ +TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/* C:/TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/Test C:/TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/Text1.txt C:/TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/Text2.txt` [download] The problem is - imho - the different behavior of globbing in the unix shell and under windows. With `BEGIN{@ARGV=map{glob}@ARGV;}` it can be treated.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

~~Yes.~~

Update:

With the files Text1.txt, Text2 and Test in the ordner C:/TEMP/TEMP/TEMP:

C:\Perl\bin>perl -le "BEGIN{@ARGV=map{glob}@ARGV;}print for @ARGV" C:/
+TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/*.*

C:/TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/Text1.txt
C:/TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/Text2.txt

C:\Perl\bin>perl -le "BEGIN{@ARGV=map{glob}@ARGV;}print for @ARGV" C:/
+TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/*

C:/TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/Test
C:/TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/Text1.txt
C:/TEMP/TEMP/TEMP/Text2.txt

BEGIN{@ARGV=map{glob}@ARGV;}
