I was using find
to search for a file on my machine like so:
find / -name version-1.0.*
and the result was just one file in my home directory, version-1.0.23
. However, if I ran the following:
find / -name version-1.0.1*
the result was /data/somelongpath/version-1.0.19
.
Why would this second result be omitted from the results in the first case?
Extra info for readers: "globbing" refers to the shell expanding wildcards into the full filename or a list of filenames. The shell does this before executing the program. – Zan Lynx – 2011-07-29T22:30:42.943
