Hello, I was learning regular expressions, and I noticed that the shell has something similar (but it is different from regular expressions). When I type 'echo *', it replaces '*' for all the files/dirs not starting with a '.' (dot). I understand the '*' in regular expressions must be preceded by other thing to match it. So it is behaving like the DOS wildcards. Where is it documented? Thanks and Best Regards, Ale
