Dear IDL experts,

Can I use '*' and '?' in the UNIX commands through 'spawn'?

When I try:

> spawn, ['ls', 'data/2003????'], /noshell
Cannot access data/2003????: No such file or directory

I have files like '20030101', '20030102', etc. in this directory.
It seems 'spawn' interpolate '?' directly or literally. How could I let
IDL know?

Thanks.
