when processing an express (f. e. ls /tmp/*.pdf)
Not exactly true, and this has always bugged me. Say our current directory
is in a non-case-sensitive FS, and we have two files there:
file1.txt
file2.TXT
Interestingly, I can do: cat file2.txt and the system will dutifully echo
the content of the file. Same with cat FILE1.TXT. OK so far.
BUT, if I try this: ls *.txt then I get only one line output: file1.txt.
If I do: ls *.TXT, I get only one line output, and of course it is
file2.TXT
I find this frustrating and inconsistent and have always felt that IBM
should fix it.
BTW: to do a case insensitive ls for files with txt extension, you could do:
ls *.[Tt][Xx][Tt]
