wildcards don't work in directory with files with odd characters

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, jeff!

>>> I have a directory that has some files with odd files.
>>> I can do a 'ls', successfully. However if I do a 'ls *'' I get:
>>> ls: cannot access '*': No such file or directory
>>> Here is ls output:
>>> 'Highlander-S03E21-Final'$'\303\251''_Part_I-22.mkv'
>>> 'Highlander-S03E22-Final'$'\303\251''_Part_II-23.mkv'
>>> I am pretty sure this used to work.
>>> This is not specific to ls. wc has the same behavior for example.
>> Are you trying to run it from Cygwin shell or from some native one, like cmd?
>>
> I am running from windows 'command prompt' aka cmd. When run from bash 
> everything seems to work correctly.

Then take a look at this thread:

You'll need correctly configured LANG and CYGWIN's glob option.
