Maybe a dumb question but what is this asterisk supposed to be? Is it part of the name and file() works for some strange globbing reasons or just a typo?
It's not a typo. It's output from the "ls" command when the "-F" / "--classify" option is in effect. There are several such markers that signify what kind of file system entry is being listed. The most common are '*' (executable) '/' (directory) '@' (symbolic link). Others are '|' (named pipe) and '=' (socket). Randall Schulz
