I'm having an extremely odd problem using the ls command and wildcards. In
a directory that is absolutely full of files ending in .gz the command:
ls *.gz
produces the result
No match.
However, when I preface the wildcard (e.g. ls u*.gz) I get normal results
such as
units-1.55.tar.gz
I am running csh and haven't aliased ls anywhere in the .cshrc file. In
case it was aliased elsewhere, I used the command \ls *.gz and got the same
odd results. I am not a terribly experienced system operator and don't know
where else to look. I think that the basic command ls still works because
invoking it from bash or ksh gives the expected results. Any suggestions on
ways to solve this are greatly appreciated. Unless it is just something
incredibly stupid that I am doing, I will summarize.
Thanks,
Bruce
