From: blroberts@xactware.com (Barry Roberts) Subject: Q: Case sensitive file names (B17) 13 Dec 1996 15:07:06 -0800 Sender: daemon@cygnus.com Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise 4.1 Original-To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com It seems that the cygnus file and shell utilities are case sensitive when performing wildcard expansion, and aren't for an explicit file name. For example, ls *.cpp will not show HELLO.CPP, but ls hello.cpp will show it (as lower case). For the utilities I have tried (grep, ls, cat), this seems to be true whether run from cmd or bash. Is there a way that I can turn off this case sensitivity? It makes many of the utilities MUCH less useful on FAT/NTFS/HPFS partitions which preserve but ignore case.
