Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 19
Release Status: release
Description:
extglob patterns are not expanded in -c command-strings, even if extglob is set
within the command-string. For instance, running:
bash -c 'shopt -s extglob; echo @(foo*|bar*)'
generates this error:
bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
bash: -c: line 0: `shopt -s extglob; echo @(foo*|bar*)'
Repeat-By:
In a clean directory, with no files, run:
bash -c 'shopt -s extglob; echo @(foo*|bar*)'
If the extglob pattern were recognized, as there's no file in the directory,
the output should be:
@(foo*|bar*)
but instead, this error is generated:
bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
bash: -c: line 0: `shopt -s extglob; echo @(foo*|bar*)'
