Hi,
It's always bugged me that I can't glob a range of numbers (that I know of).
I've got a bunch of files, named say argus.log.5.gz -> argus.log.21.gz
I wish there was a ".." operator/regex thingy.
I'd like to be able to go "cp argus.log.[5..21].gz /tmp" or something like
that. Unless some regex guru can show me a way of using [] expansion that I
didn't know of...
