Re: [hobbit] Regular Expression problem

["Steve Holmes" <sholmes42 (at) mac.com>]

I think the problem is that the file list produced by the ls in the back
ticks is showing up as a list all on one line rather than a list of files
one per line. Not absolutely sure about that, but if you do an echo `ls -1d
./someregexp` it produces one line of output. It might work to actually
write a script to make sure the output has newlines between the  file names
and then run that in the hobbit config instead of the ls.
Beyond that I have no idea.

Steve.

There is no greater gift to an insecure leader that quite matches a vague
enemy who can be used to whip up fear and hatred among the population.
-Paul Rusesabagina, humanitarian (b. 1954)

Human beings are perhaps never more frightening than when they are
convinced beyond doubt that they are right. -Laurens van der Post, explorer
and writer (1906-1996)
