Wildcard (globbing) in directory names

[Clough, Neil]

Hi,

We have a problem using the GNU coreutils "cat" program under Win32.

Or more precisely, the file spec that cat processes.

With the old MKS cat program, we could use a wildcard (glob) in the
directory name as well as in the filename.

eg cat <part dir name>*/<part file name>*

And cat would find all files matching to <part file name>*  in all
directories matching to  <part dir name>*

This does not seem to happen with GNU coreutils cat !

Any advice ?

Thanks in advance,

Neil
