From: blroberts AT xactware DOT com (Barry Roberts) Subject: Q: Case sensitive file names (B17) 13 Dec 1996 15:07:06 -0800 Sender: daemon AT cygnus DOT com Approved: cygnus DOT gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise 4.1 Original-To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT 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. Thanks, Barry Roberts - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
