In section 4 of the draft, the character set paragraph indicates:
characters. Keywords and arguments MUST be each separated by
one or more US-ASCII SPACE or US-ASCII TAB characters.
Multiple Wildmat arguements are currently separated by commas. Is the comma
or the above description an error?
Proposed additional text about multiple wildmat arguements:
Where more than one wildmat arguement is given with a command the
arguement that is left-most is given least precedence, the
arguement that is right-most is given most precedence and those
wildmat arguements between are given an increasing precedence
from left to right.
Proposed additional sample (assuming space is the separator between
arguements):
g) a* !ab* -- matches any string beginning with a but
does not have b as it's second character. The string
"a" (without quotes) is a match.
Cheers,
Pete
