Hi all,
as I'm trying to give shell programming and things like that a start, I have a short question related to the shell expansion:
I heard that it is possible to exclude things after using a wildcard like ./* for every file in the current directory. Am I right or did I misunderstand something? Is there some place on the internet where I can find things about expansions and such operations of the shell?
Thanks in advance,
Heiko

If Bash is what you're trying to learn, I'd recommend following Greg's Wiki.[1] The section on patterns and globbing has what you're looking for.[2]

Hi,
I found the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide extremely valuable.
