Just input alias in shell to check if the alias about * exists.

Does this happen in every directory, or do you have a file named
"--exlucde" that you created by mistake in the dir where this happens?
That name would tend to sort first ahead of most other names. I can
recreate it like this:
$ touch ./--exlucde
$ ls *
ls: unrecognized option '--exlucde'
Try `ls --help' for more information.
$
and I can fix it like this:
$ rm ./--exlucde
$

Hi all,
I was working in a shell with tar and I changed something where now when
I type "*" it interprets it as --exlucde
i.e
$ *
bash: --exlucde: command not found
or
$ ls *
ls: unrecognized option `--exlucde'
Try `ls --help' for more information.
how can I fix this?
thanks,
Ivan

Hi Felix,
That what it exactly. I couldn't notice it because there were tons of
files in that directory.
I appreciate your help,
Ivan
