The following works with bash 1.14.0(5) under SCO but not with bash-1.14.7(5) under gnuwin32 (i.e., the bash that came with b18). for fname in `ls` do cp $fname /tmp; done I get an error such as the following for each filename `ls` spits out: cp: Acr99.tmp: No such file or directory Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or if this is a known problem with gnuwin32 bash? --John (novice shell programmer, trying to escape from CMD.EXE) - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
