Package: bash
Version: 2.05b-26
Severity: normal
The bash man page describes this construct:
@(pattern-list)
Matches exactly one of the given patterns
But what it really seems it does is "match exactly one occurrence of any of the
given patterns".
"Matches exactly one of the given patterns" seems like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ mkdir foo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ cd foo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/foo$ ls
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/foo$ touch a
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/foo$ touch ab
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/foo$ ls @(a|a*)
a ab
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/foo$
should really just give 'ab' instead of both 'a' and 'ab', since 'a' matches 2
patterns, not exactly one.
