getting FNM_PATHNAME behaviour from pattern matching
Hello, I'm trying to match a patterm that requires the behaviour of FNM_PATHNAME (from fnmatch(3)). Unlike, say, FNM_PERIOD, which is emulated by unsetting 'dotglob', there does not seem to be an equivalent to emulate FNM_PATHNAME. I'd like [[ abc/dd/def.html == abc/*.html ]]; echo $? to return 1, not 0. What am I missing/doing wrong?
A Suggestion On Bash
Dear Sir or Madam: I have a wonderful idea about Bash(GNU bash version 3.2.39(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)). When I use tools like 'cat' or some other commands like this,I find it hard to specify where the file that I 'cat' begins because the command I typed just now was mixed with the file I want to read and they look like the same. So I think if we could add special color such as red or green to the command lines we typed before to mark them,just like the different colors on different kinds of files and catalogues,it will be much easier for us to tell where the file we want to read begins. I am looking forward to your replay. Wish you happy! Yours donglongchao 2009.2.7

'man bash' and read about PS1 (the primary bash prompt). There are hundreds of ways to color output, used for all sorts of things; a very recent example from my life is at http://sitaramc.github.com/images/git-completion-plus.png -- every command line in that screenshot is colored in some way. As an example, the PS1 I use is: PS1='\[\e[32m\]\t\[\e30m\] \h:\W \$ \[\e[m\]'

Sorry! Best wishes, Michael
