Hi.
The following works with bash 1.14.0(5) under SCO but
not with bash-1.14.7(5) under gnuwin32 (i.e., the bash
that came with b18).
for fname in `ls`
do cp $fname /tmp; done
I get an error such as the following for each filename
`ls` spits out:
cp: Acr99.tmp: No such file or directory
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or if this is a
known problem with gnuwin32 bash?
