shakes808hello peoples, wondering about why I can't "cd" or "less" into these: http://pastebin.com/d9aY1GgY19:46
cmaloneyshakes808: ls -al . (in etc)19:49
jrwrenshakes808: super* is matching a single dir in /etc, so ls -l super* is not showing you files in etc, shell is expanding super* and showing you contents of those matches.19:51
jrwrenor multiple dirs for that matter.19:51
jrwrenshakes808: try `ls -ld super*`19:52
cmaloneythat is likely what is happening19:59
shakes808Thank you,  That is what it looks like it is doing.  It looks like it is going into /etc/supervisor/ and pulling those files.  I would imagine that it would have showed me the file path if it was buried more like that20:02
jrwrennope, it is doing what you told it to.20:10
jrwrenremember, shell expands wildcards.20:10
jrwrenls can't tell you anything about it, because bash already did it.20:10
cmaloney++20:14
shakes808ah, alright.20:20
shakes808Thank you20:20
shakes808is there a way to do what I want but for only the current dir?20:22
jrwrenshakes808: what do you want?20:22
shakes808search current dir for foo*20:22
shakes808not going into the other dir in the current dir.20:22
shakes808or if it is going to go down into the other dir, give me the path to which you are in20:25
jrwrenshakes808: oh, that is what I pasted.20:25
jrwrentry `ls -ld super*`20:25
jrwrenerr, wrote and now pasted.20:25
jrwrenlist directories themselves, not their content.20:26
shakes808HAHA, alright.  must have read over that post, sorry.20:26
jrwrenso when bash expands super* to sueprvisor, `ls -ld supervsior` (what is actually executing) will list the dir, not its contents.20:26
shakes808Awesome!  Thank you20:27
