expansion

I would like to expand a variable in Bash. Here's my example: variable="{1,2,3}" echo $variable Expected output: 1 2 3 Actual output: {1,2,3} The expansion doesn't work because of the order in which bash performs command-line expansion. If you read the man page you'll see the order is: Brace expansion Tilde expansion Parameter expansion Command substitution Arithmetic expansion Process substitution Word splitting Pathname expansion Quote removal Parameter expansion happens after brace expansion, which means you can't put brace expansions inside variables like you're trying. But never fear,

I am hoping that someone may have an idea on how to control/specify the order of macro expansion. Here is the context: // 32 bit increments, processor has registers for set, clear and invert #define CLR_OFF 1 #define SET_OFF 2 #define INV_OFF 3 #define SET(reg,bits) *((volatile unsigned long*)(& reg+SET_OFF)) = bits //Now if I use this I can do it quite nicely with #define STATUS_LED 0x0040; SET(LATB, STATUS_LED); // LATB is port of the LED. I've actually had to move hardware around quite a bit as of late so I decided to group the LATB info with the STATUS_LED like so... #define STATUS_LED

I am running into a peculiar behavior of the Eclipse run configuration, and it appears to be a Windows-only problem. Suppose I have a Java app that prints out the command line arguments, like the following: public class WildCard { public static void main(String[] args) { for (String arg: args) { System.out.println(arg); } } } If I provide argument with a wild card that can be expanded by the shell, the shell will expand it and give it to the Java program. That's no surprise. So, if I do on the command prompt java WildCard test/* the program will print test/foo.txt test/bar.txt where foo.txt

Does Qt have any platform-independent functionality to accept paths like "~/myfile"? I know about wordexp , but it would be nice with a platform-independent wrapper. Edit: Thank you all for the responses. "~/myfile" was just an example. What I am looking for is functionality to handle file-paths as you would be able to write on the command-line. So on Linux, it should accept "~/myfile", "~otheruser/hisfile", "$VAR/file" etc. On Windows, it should accept "%HOMEDIR%\myfile" etc. ChristopheD You could probably just replace the tilde with the result of QDir::homePath() ?

I understand that the wildcard * (by itself) will expand in such a way that it means "all non-hidden files in the current folder" with hidden files being those prefixed by a period. There are two use cases that I would think are useful, but I don't know how to properly do: How can you glob for... "All files in the current folder, including hidden files, but not including . or .. "? How can you glob for... "All hidden files (and only hidden files) in the current folder, but not including . or .. "? sth To expand on paviums answer and answer the second part of your question, all files except .
