Well, care to explain why I'm labeled as a troll? I ran the following: | bash-4.3$ mkdir a b c | bash-4.3$ touch 1 2 3 | bash-4.3$ (set -x; echo '===1'; for file in `ls --color=never`; do [ -e "$file" ] && echo "$file"; done; echo '===2'; for file in `ls --color=always`; do [ -e "$file" ] && echo "$file"; done;) | + echo ===1 | ===1 | ++ ls --color=never | + for file in '`ls --color=never`' | + '[' -e 1 ']' | + echo 1 | 1 | + for file in '`ls --color=never`' | + '[' -e 2 ']' | + echo 2 | 2 | + for file in '`ls --color=never`' | + '[' -e 3 ']' | + echo 3 | 3 | + for file in '`ls --color=never`' | + '[' -e a ']' | + echo a | a | + for file in '`ls --color=never`' | + '[' -e b ']' | + echo b | b | + for file in '`ls --color=never`' | + '[' -e c ']' | + echo c | c | + echo ===2 | ===2 | ++ ls --color=always | + for file in '`ls --color=always`' | + '[' -e 1 ']' | + echo 1 | 1 | + for file in '`ls --color=always`' | + '[' -e 2 ']' | + echo 2 | 2 | + for file in '`ls --color=always`' | + '[' -e 3 ']' | + echo 3 | 3 | + for file in '`ls --color=always`' | + '[' -e 'a' ']' | + for file in '`ls --color=always`' | + '[' -e 'b' ']' | + for file in '`ls --color=always`' | + '[' -e 'c' ']' Due to limitations on what can be sent by email, you won't be able to notice that the last three entries are shown in color. But running this on a terminal will make that evident quickly. And this would've hinted you immediately what the issue was. (but hey, I'm a troll ;) ) --- Also, on a slightly different issue, please... really, please, use Google Groups properly. It's VERY annoying to have to skip through pages of text just to see your 1 line reply. Also, it appears as if you're replying to yourself. This makes it hard to know who you're talking to.
