Sorry, I've had it wrong, bad memory. In zsh, it's **/ that is a shortcut for (*/)# obiously otherwise (if ** were short for (*/)#) **.c would match any file named ".c" in any subdirectory, and ** alone is not special. In ksh93, ** matches any file in any directory and subdirectory, while you need **/* in bash or zsh (**/* will also work in ksh). -- Stéphane
