Re: Windows paths in glob


Quoth Bart Lateur <bart.lateur@xxxxxxxxxx>:

Result:

C:/Documents and Settings C:/Documents and Settings 1
C:\Documents and Settings C:./Documents and Settings 1

Well, ok... the response of glob to a backslash *is* weird. But at
least, it seems to work.

Not just weird: wrong. Win32 has a notion of 'current directory on a
given drive'; C:./Documents and Settings is a path relative to the
current directory on drive C:.
