ls with regular expression
I currently list and sort all the files in a directory which begin with an Upper Case C and end with the extension '#finished#'.
Here is the command I use:
ls -tr $currentDir/[C]*.#finished#
what i need to do now is list all the files in a directory that begin with upper case C and end with either '#finished#' or 'finsihed'.
can i do this with one `ls` statement?
my simple mind tries this:
filelist=`ls -tr $currentDir/[C]*.#finished#`
filelist=$filelist+`ls -tr $currentDir/[C]*.finished`
however I need to keep the sort order in tact for all files regardless of thier extension.
thanks

pdl::pod::select
Select(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Select(3pm)
NAME
podselect - function to extract selected sections of pod documentation
SYNOPSIS
use PDL::Pod::Select;
podselect (@filelist);
podselect ({OUTPUT => "tmp.out"}, @filelist):
podselect ({SELECT => ["NAME|SYNOPSIS", "OPTIONS"]}, @filelist):
podselect ({OUTPUT => ">&STDERR", SELECT => ["DESCRIPTION"]}, "-");
DESCRIPTION
podselect() is a function which will extract specified sections of pod documentation from an input stream. This ability is already provided
in the PDL::Pod::Parser module. Subclasses of PDL::Pod::Parser that wish to take advantage of this feature do not need to derive from
PDL::Pod::Select. PDL::Pod::Select merely provides a single function named podselect() which provides this capability in function form (as
opposed to object form) for extracting the raw pod docs.
podselect(\%options, @filelist)
podselect will print the raw (untranslated) pod documentation of all pod sections in the given input files specified by @filelist according
to the given options.
If any argument to podselect is a reference to a hash (associative array) then the values with the following keys are processed as follows:
"OUTPUT"
A string corresponding to the desired output file (or ">&STDOUT" or ">&STDERR"). The default is to use standard output.
"SELECT"
A reference to an array of sections specifications (as described in "SECTION SPECIFICATIONS" in PDL::Pod::Parser) which indicate the
desired set of pod sections and subsections to be selected from input. If no section specifications are given, then all sections of pod
documentation are used.
All other arguments should correspond to the names of input files containing pod documentation. A file name of "-" or "<&STDIN" will be
interpeted to mean standard input (which is the default if no filenames are given).
