bash - Passing glob results through to a function discarding all but first file -


i have following function f() { find . -name "$1"} handy shortcut finding file name. if execute find . -name "*.gradle" in terminal get:

./.gradle ./app/build.gradle ./build.gradle ./dependencies.gradle ./settings.gradle ./wearable/build.gradle 

if execute f *.gradle in terminal get:

./app/build.gradle ./build.gradle ./wearable/build.gradle 

the first result correct 1 , wanted one. why getting though 'wrong' result when using function though content same? did inject $1 parameter wrongly?

f *.gradle 

expands glob, replacing *.gradle list of files in current directory, may run following:

$ f one.gradle two.gradle #   $1         $2 

which runs:

find . -name one.gradle 

...passing first file ($1), , ignoring others.


if want pass glob through find:

f '*.gradle'
