Is there a way to include a command that contains parenthesis inside a bash function? I get an error for an unexpected ( found when I try. I am trying to include the following inside of a bash function:

cleanup () {
shopt -s extglob
rm !(FileToKeep)
}


 
Hi

Move the [tt]shopt[/tt] out from the function. ( Sorry, cannot explain why. )
