Hallo, again...
... I asked:
: : In your output file listing, what do the
: : trailing tildes represent after filenames?
: : Is that a UNIX flag?
... and you said:
: it's just a regular character in the filename
: "joe", the text editor i use in unix,
: appends it to backup files ...
__Does that mean that our search mechanism needs
__to return close or partial matches, as opposed
__to exact matches? (i.e. Search for "Makefile"
__and return a path to "Makefile~"?) In your
__example, when you searched for "Makefile", you
__got "proj3/Makefile", even though the listing
__suggests that no such file exists in that
__directory, but a file called "Makefile~" does.
__Could you clarify again, please?
