extensions- simple question
hi guys

i have this script

Code:

Doc_=/home/$USER/Documentos/*.odt || .doc

but in the code above, only .odt files are selected, all .doc none.

What is the error in the code?

thanks

one of two things I see wrong with it.

One, you supply no wild card to the doc files.

Two, there i no path for the doc files.

Is it to be assumed that the entire path is for *.odt because there is no spacing? It reads to me all odt files in this directory, or doc file extension. Is it possible to set the current directory, then say *.odt || *.doc ??

thanks for your reply

i think that the problem is bad syntax, i can copy (and select) the doc files, if i change to *.doc || *.odt
and if i change to

Doc_=/home/$USER/Documentos/*

i can copy and select all the files


---all files are stored in Documentos/, so te path is correct
