I'm afraid I must be missing something terribly obvious here, but why would you need to escape a dot on a command line? None of the shells I'm familiar with treat dot as a metacharacter. Isn't `?' the standard shell metacharacter for "any character"? Filename patterns on the shell command line are "glob patterns", not RE's. But, like I said, I'm probably missing something. I think I'll go back into the shadows to lurk some more now.... Charles
