Yap, Bill. The backslash-escaping one works for my zsh as well. And I'm sure you checked it's working for other major shells.
So I would say backslash seems to be a good solution since you don't have to worry about double-single quotes. Thanks! regards, -Hui On 11/1/06, Bill Au <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I did some testing and blackslash-escaping also works: find /home/yjin/apps/solr-nightly/example/solr/data/ -name snapshot.\* -print Hui, can you verify that? I am already using single quote in the snappuller script to specify the find command to as an argument to ssh. I could change that to double quote and then use single quote for snapshot.*, or blackslash escape the *. I am fine with either way. Does anyone has any strong preference? If not, I will just randomly choose one.
