I seem to have a problem with wildcards from the Windows command line
when there are high-bit characters in a filename.
A directory contains only the two files "user" and "anvÃndare"
("anvÃndare" being user in Swedish):
C:\Documents and Settings\Bengt2\Desktop\test\ttt>ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 Bengt2 Users 0 2009-12-30 02:23 anvÃndare
-rw-r--r-- 1 Bengt2 Users 0 2009-12-30 02:23 user
C:\Documents and Settings\Bengt2\Desktop\test\ttt>ls u*
user
C:\Documents and Settings\Bengt2\Desktop\test\ttt>ls a*
ls: cannot access a*: No such file or directory
C:\Documents and Settings\Bengt2\Desktop\test\ttt>ls *
ls: cannot access *: No such file or directory
It works in bash and dash:
C:\Documents and Settings\Bengt2\Desktop\test\ttt>bash
/users/Bengt2/Desktop/test/ttt: ls u*
user
/users/Bengt2/Desktop/test/ttt: ls a*
anvÃndare
/users/Bengt2/Desktop/test/ttt: ls *
anvÃndare user
I have LANG and CYGWIN set, but not having them set doesn't change the
outcome.
