I hope this question isn't too vague...

i recently switched from RedHat to Solaris 10, and found that the parts of a script that copy files between directories no longer work because escape sequences are appearing at the start and end of the filenames being read

#!/usr/bin/bash
cd ${fromDirectory}
for file in `ls -1 bkup*`
do
cp $file ${toDirectory}
done

but the cp command fails, because there are escape sequences being inserted at the start and end of the filenames, and the file is therefore not being found.

I thought it could be some sort of stty issue or terminal setting which I've not set. Any ideas?
