That is not the case (if he typed in what he said he typed in). And he
should definately use the single > to ensure that only those files are
in the concatenation.
For example:
> test.1
> test.2
> test.10
echo *
test.1 test.10 test.2
echo test.*[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
test.1 test.10 test.2
echo test.*[1,2,10]
test.1 test.10 test.2
echo test.*[1,2]
test.1 test.2
So, the '10' will match a 10 (it will also match a 01).
