Subject: glob pattern and redirected input file name
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2013 16:49:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <521FDDF8.5010200@nottheoilrig.com> (raw)
What is DASH supposed to do when input is redirected from a file, and
the file name is a glob pattern? e.g.
tar xz < foo-*.tar.gz
Is it supposed to expand the glob pattern, or is that not supported?
The following both work, is there a better workaround?
tar fxz foo-*.tar.gz
tar xz < $(echo foo-*.tar.gz)
