Feature idea: recursive globbing

2005-04-04 Thread Norbert Nemec
Hi there,
I don't know whether this idea is just too obvious or why it is not 
implemented:

How about using a double star ** to signify recursive globbing, i.e. 
globbing for arbitrarily deep paths?

More specific:
Double star '**', which currently does not have any specific meaning in 
bash, could just match any number of arbitrarily deep nested directories.

The detailed rules would of course have to be worked out. The extension 
will of course not have the full flexibility of the 'find' command, nor 
will it be a full replacement for '-r' options of other commands, but it 
will certainly find good use in many situations.

Would be interesting to hear whether this or something similar has been 
discussed before or whether something like it is implemented already.

Greetings,
Norbert Nemec

FWIW, zsh already has that.
