Globbing happens before your script is run.
After the expansion is done, in your case, your command line looks like:
Code:
./script.sh ff file flash2mp3 fold
As you can see, «
ff » becomes the first parameter of your script ( i.e.,
$1 ).
If you want to avoid this behavior, you have two solutions:
1. Quote «
f* » ( i.e., «
'f*' » or «
"f*" » ) and not
$1 inside your script ;
2. Use the
@ parameter ( i.e. «
"$@" » ) instead of
$1 inside your script. (preferred)
Also, using
ls(1) in a script is bad.
Unless your intention is only to retrieve filenames in a file then do nothing with the data, tell us what you're actually doing.
