Hi All, I am calling bash from dmake. The make file initiates the call to bash as follows:
/bin/bash /S /c "" The command to execute is between the double quotes. For instance In Make File: @ls -l ./SomeDir/* Bash Command /bin/bash /S /c "ls -l ./SomeDir/*" The /S from what I see enables regular expression processing in the bash command line, but maybe I might be wrong. In any event, the problem that I have is the asterisk. Bash does not like it. I tried escaping it with a backslash up to nine levels but that did not work; should only require one. Yes, the actual command that I use is not ls. In the real example, I am using "rm -f", but ls is a good example too and safer for experimentation. How do I write the command line, so that it works? "ls -l ./SomeDir/\*" does not work, nor anything else that I tried so far.
