Using the following script:
#!/bin/bash
set -x
cat << eof | `ls /bin | grep "^grep$"` alpha
alpha
omega
eof
Output from bash on Linux:
+ cat
++ ls /bin
++ grep '^grep$'
+ grep alpha
alpha
Output from bash on Cygwin:
+ cat
++ ls /bin
++ grep '^grep$'
+ alpha
./ls-test: line 3: alpha: command not found
But, the command 'cp /bin/grep ~/.' will copy grep.exe to my home directory.
Shouldn't 'ls' be suppressing the '.exe' extension for cygwin binaries
in the same way that 'cp' appends it?
Seems inconsistent not to.
