|    tree command weirdness    |

      From: dave@dave123royal.com              I have a directory 'music' which has many subdirectories, each with an       artist name - e.g. 'Band'. Under each artist is a set of directories with       an album name - e.g. 'Music from Big Pink' - and within that a set of mp3       tracks. I expect many people have something similar.              If I use this command:       tree -d >~/temp/output1       I get a listing of which this is an extract - it shows the end of artists       beginning with A and the start of those beginning with B:       ├── Astor Piazzolla       │ ├── Adiós noniño       │ └── Nuevo Tango Hora Zero       ├── Band       │ └── Music from Big Pink       ├── Band of Hope       │ └── Rythm and Reds       ├── Barbara       │ └── LAigle noir              I want to produce a list of only artists beginning with a specified       letter. I should be able to do that with this command which should show       the Bs:       tree -d -P B* >~/temp/output2              output2 starts thus:       Band of Hope       └── Rythm and Reds       Barbara       └── LAigle noir              So the first B artist is missing. This happens with any letter. If there       is only one artist (Z for Zaz in my case) I get the complete A-Z list.              I've tried various combinations of arguments, and ways of specifying the       pattern, but I can't make it work. This is Leap 42.3 I've also tried on       Debian.              I begin to think this is a bug. Do others see the same? Any ideas?       --       (Remove any numerics from my email address.)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
