Why doesn't "ls *.e*" work as argument to "find -execdir"?
网页When the bash shell can't find a file that matches a given globbing pattern, it leaves the pattern unexpanded. This leads to, in your find command, that ls gets the unexpanded pattern *.e* as its argument. The ls utility does not do expansions of filename globbing patterns by itself but relies on the shell to have done that already.

Getting an array of files built from include array and exclude array ...
网页2023年6月14日 — Define an array of globs that specify files to exclude from that process. It doesn't matter to me if this array of globs specifies files not even in the above collection.

(^/) is a glob qualifier that selects files of any type other than directory.

The first matches all two-letter files starting with dot, but not dot-dot. The second matches all dot files of three characters or more.
