can find with shell expansion but not grep

0

Can anyone figure out why I could not find list_awareness.html with an ls piped to a grep, yet it was findable with the shell expansion. I am using Cygwin on windows. 

casper@NYKPWM2037968 /cygdrive/c/www/root
$ ls -ltr | grep list*

casper@NYKPWM2037968 /cygdrive/c/www/root
$ ls -ltr | grep list_awareness*

casper@NYKPWM2037968 /cygdrive/c/www/root
$ ls -ltr list_awareness*

If you just run ls -ltr, does it actually show up in the results? – user1686 – 2019-12-17T12:47:52.633

try ls -ltr | grep list I suspect the * at the end is causing unexpected consequence due to bash argument completion – matzeri – 2019-12-19T06:41:30.813
