[GRASS-user] g.mremove fails when used with wildcard in WinGRASS-6.4.0-1 on windows 7

[Luigi Ponti]

Dear list,

WinGRASS-6.4.0-1 on Windows 7;

wxgui g.mremove called on vector with * wildcard does not work:

g.mremove -f 
vect=map*                                                         
Removing vector <mapBloomday_Olive_11set10_Avg>
Unable to delete file 
'C:\cygwin\home\andy/latlong/luigi/vector/mapBloomday_Olive_11set10_Avg/hist'
couldn't be removed
<mapBloomday_Olive_11set10_Avg> nothing removed
(Tue Sep 14 15:24:10 2010) Command finished (0 sec)

wxgui g.mremove called with full vector name works fine:

g.mremove -f 
vect=mapBloomday_Olive_11set10_Avg                                
Removing vector <mapBloomday_Olive_11set10_Avg>

sec)                            

There was only that vector map starting with map* in current location.

Deleting rasters with g.mremove works fine both ways.

Trying same test with an old (May 29) WinGRASS-6.4.svn installed on the 
same machine;

Wildcards work:

g.mremove -f 
vect=map*                                                         
Removing vector <mapBloomday_Olive_11set10_Avg>
(Tue Sep 14 15:49:47 2010) Command finished (1 sec)

I have created a ticket for this.

Kind regards and thanks for any pointer,

Luigi
