No, this isn't regex. `*' alone means zero or more of anything. What OP doesn't understand here is that `!(8)' can match the empty string. A simpler example would be: $ touch a b c $ echo !([ab]) c $ echo !([ab])* a b c > Since everything ends with 0 (or more) not 8's (or not anything elses) > everything matches. > > kre > > > -- Oğuz
