I want to carry out some action (say chown
) on all the hidden files in a directory.
I know that this .*
is not a good idea because it will also find the current .
and parent ..
directories (I know that rm
will fail to operate on .
and ..
but other commands, including chown
and chmod
, will happily take effect)
But all my hidden files have different names!
How should I glob for all hidden files while excluding .
and ..
?
