nextflow `fromPath` not passing all files with *

Question

main.nf is

#!/usr/bin/env nextflow

params.input = ''
tchan = Channel.fromFile(params.input)

tchan.println()

I have a.bam, b.bam and c.bam

I run:

nextflow run main.nf --input *bam

But it only prints a.bam

According to the documentation, wildcard character it is interpreted as a glob path matcher

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you

Answer 1

got it!

I should run:

nextflow run main.nf --input "*bam"

instead of

nextflow run main.nf --input *bam
