Re: wildcards in command line

Hi all,

Just one small problem. When I run from the command line, for example :
du -s *
and the current directory contains items with names containing white
spaces, the command fails on these items.


If not mistaking anything, this wildcard is expanded by the internal command
interpreter (here it is probably a bug), and not by bash or whatever your
shell is. Try sending the command to the external shell:


du -s *
