bash - Edit: What is it when old unix tools fail sometimes? -
ls , find have not worked @ times. example, days ago:
ls wo_*scr
didn't work. renamed wo_*scr file tmp, , renamed original. ls wo_*scr worked. isn't strange?
today,
find mydir -iname *scr
didn't show (even escaping). *py or *src did.
lately have installed lot of software apt-get, pip, npm, , git, , scripts trusted origin (like anaconda continuum.io). can typical new software drive system mad? laptop? ubuntu fails , should reinstall it????
about system:
os: i'm using ubuntu in laptop (description: ubuntu 14.04.3 lts; release: 14.04. architecture: x86-64 (64 bit)).
about filesystem, permisions, , all: work home directory. user, , create regular files. of them make executable (to perform simple things changing names of files).
the *
expanded shell. should quote like:
find mydirectory -iname '*scr'
or
find mydirectory -iname \*scr
