What the heck is "globbing"? --ZeroOne 06:13, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Globbing is what most shells support. You can use things like "*.txt" to match "schedule.txt", "fun_stuff.txt", and so on. * matches any number of characters (including 0), ? matches exactly one character. --Eidolos 06:15, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

If anyone is interested, I compiled a version of nethack-3.4.3 with both menucolors and autopick_exceptions for windows. The windows binary of menucolors doesn't have autopickup_exceptions which I can't live without anymore. Addps4cat 13:11, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I'd be interested in that.... --Snicker 12:41, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Weird menucolors problem on Ubuntu GNU/Linux

Is anyone else having an odd problem where some menucolors don't work? I simply copied Eidolos' file, and as far as I can tell, only the options with parentheses in them don't work, e.g.:

MENUCOLOR=" uncursed"=white

works fine, but

MENUCOLOR=" uncursed| UC?($| )"=white

doesn't.
