Hi!

I have no idea if this is a FAQ, but anyway.

I'm looking for a wildcard expansion mechanism, where for example I could
do mv *.c *.o.
E.g. an expansion where I only get the * part. 
Another case would be, say a directory containing files
foobar foobar.c and foobar.o and when I use *.c I only get foobar, which I can
then use further.

I think this is what I want :-)
Mike
