This seems to be more of a shell scripting question than a curl question to me, but how are you using this script - are you capturing the result into a variable such as:

DATA=`echo [08-08]*`

or are you running curl on the glob. I would recommend adding the capture into an array and possibly doing a for loop on the results to perform the desired actions.

Thanks,
Tim

Subject: globbing question

Hello, I'm fairly new to cURL, but have searched quite a bit for an answer to this without success.

I have a BASH script that calls cURL once, but with several "globs" for spanning numeric ranges. The beginning and ending values can sometimes be the same (e.g., [08-08]). The script works fine otherwise, and I was hoping that cURL would just interpret [08-08] as if it were plain 08.

Anyway, when the values match, I get the following error:
curl: (3) [globbing] error: bad range specification after pos 65

I'm using v7.15.5 on CentOS5.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Brian
