Description

Hello

I upgraded shx from version 0.3.4 to 0.4.0. I executed my shx command after the upgrade and an error occured with the following command:

shx cp C:\myDirectory\*.scss C:\otherDirectory

This is the exception:
[shx cp "C:\myDirectory\*.scss" "C:\otherDirectory"](cp: no such file or directory: C:/myDirectory/*.scss)

I think the problem in the command is *.scss. I only want to copy the scss Files in the myDirectory folder.

How can I do that in the current verion? This command worked in the 0.3.4 version.

Regards
Fabio

Research direction

Start by reproducing shx cp C:\myDirectory\*.scss C:\otherDirectory on version 0.4.0, then compare it with 0.3.4 to identify the change in wildcard handling. Inspect the shx cp command path; done means SCSS files copy successfully on Windows and the regression is covered by an appropriate test.
