Monterey tcsh wildcards

I am busy finetuning my 'new' second hand Macbook Pro (Monterey 12.7.6) and noticed that brackets ([ ]) are not properly handled by the tcsh.

For example, the command >ls -1 RDN_148[3-4]?.jpg produces following output:

RDN_14804.jpg

RDN_14814.jpg

RDN_14824.jpg

RDN_14834.jpg

RDN_14844.jpg


whereas entering the same command using bash yields:

RDN_14834.jpg

RDN_14844.jpg

as it should be.


It also happens for other commands such as find.


On my old macbook (Capitan 10.11.6) I didn't have this issue. Does anyone know what is causing this, and, if possible, how to fix this?


Thanks & best,

Ruud

It looks like a bug in tcsh. See https://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=734


To fix it, you would have to install your own version of tcsh with the fix. That should be relatively easy, as such things go.
