Actually, not quite. *If* there is something in the current directory that matches, then the shell will expand the wildcard; but if there's nothing that matches the pattern (which, with a pattern like the above, is probably the expected case), then the "*" version somehow magically makes it to yum after all. As long as you're running bash, at least -- not sure if this works in tcsh as well. Important Note: although it's convenient, it can be dangerous to rely on the above wildcard trick. I spent much more time than I should have last week trying to figure out why "yum list openoffice.org*" kept returning "no matching packages" ... until I realised I actually had a directory that matched that wild-card. Whoops. :) MEF -- Mary Ellen Foster -- http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/mef/ Informatik 6: Robotics and Embedded Systems, Technische Universität München and ICCS, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
