) In the process of normalizing a relative path, PowerShell checks to see see if the path exists, which it does by invoking Directory.EnumerateFiles(directory, filename); On Unix platforms, if the filename contains globbing patterns, such as [ab], EnumerateFiles (and EnumerateDirectories) will perform the globbing. Using globbing patterns, a file named 'file[txt].txt' is reported as not existing. This fix changes the file-existence test on Unix to use a native function instead of either of the Directory.EnumerateXXX functions.

Fixes #2799
In the process of normalizing a relative path, PowerShell checks to see
see if the path exists, which it does by invoking
Directory.EnumerateFiles(directory, filename);On Unix platforms, if the filename contains globbing patterns, such as
[ab],EnumerateFiles(andEnumerateDirectories) will perform the globbing. Usingglobbing patterns, a file named
file[txt].txtis reported as not existing.This fix changes the file-existence test on Unix to use a native function
instead of either of the Directory.EnumerateXXX functions.
This affects the
Move-Item,Remove-Item,Rename-ItemandCopy-Itemcmdlets. This change does not affect theNew-Itemcmdlet, as it is able to create files with names containing Unix globbing characters.
