 Unix Tip #4340- January 28, 2025
 
SIMPLE MASK OVERLOOKED  
  
Another way to CD to the long directory.  
  
Works in both csh and ksh  
  
cd too*  
  
Will change to the directory "toobigtotype"  
As long as there is only one ocurrance  
of the word too....  
  
This is great when there is only  
one sub directory within a directory,  
just use:  
  
cd *
