filenames - Bash globbing - autoexpand for a few specific cases? -
I think the wildcard *
(by itself) will expand in such a way that its meaning "All non-hidden files in the current folder" are prefixed to a period with hidden files.
In two useful cases I feel useful, but I do not know how to do it correctly:
-
How can you globe for All files in the current folder including hidden files, but
.
or.
" -
How do you Globe for the ... "All hidden files (and hidden files only) in the current folder, but
.
or..
"?
to expand and answer the second part of your question For all files except
and ..
can be specified as such:
{. !!!] *, *}
This dotglob
shell option based on the case of your precise use, so that in default by *
in bash Dotfile included:
$ shopt -s dotglob $ echo * .tst
