[jed-users] Only edit original file


Hi list members,

when editing files with complex names I would like to use wildcards.
The problem is that jed sometimes selects the backup file.

Example:

martinkl@maurice:~/tmp$ jed abc

Add "line 1" in the editor:

F10 key ==> File   Edit   Search   Buffers   Windows   System   Help
line 1

martinkl@maurice:~/tmp$ jed a*

Add "line 2" in the editor:

F10 key ==> File   Edit   Search   Buffers   Windows   System   Help
line 1
line 2

martinkl@maurice:~/tmp$ jed a*

Add "line 3" in the editor:

F10 key ==> File   Edit   Search   Buffers   Windows   System   Help
line 1
line 3

Instead of abc this time jed opened abc~.

Check:

martinkl@maurice:~/tmp$ for i in * ; do echo $i ; cat $i ; echo --- ; done
abc
line 1
line 2
---
abc~
line 1
line 3
---
abc~~
line 1
---

Is there a switch/parameter/etc which tells jed, not to open backup
files when called with a wildcard at the end?

Thank you
Martin
