no, that's not my problem.  oh - but this reminds me that if i just use 
something like "print" for the command line command, then it works fine:

$ ls *.txt
test.txt

$ more test.txt
I wish I had a fish.
I wish I had a wombat.
Fish are tasty.
Wombats are tasty too.

$ ruby -n -e "print if /wombat/" *.txt
-e:1: No such file or directory - if (Errno::ENOENT)

$ ruby -n -e "print if /wombat/" test.txt
-e:1: No such file or directory - if (Errno::ENOENT)

$ ruby -n -e "print" test.txt
I wish I had a fish.
I wish I had a wombat.
Fish are tasty.
Wombats are tasty too.

$ ruby -n -e "print" if test.txt
-e:1: No such file or directory - if (Errno::ENOENT)

so it seems clear that ruby isn't getting the entire -e argument, 
probably due to intereference by BASH.  anyone know how to fix this?
