Using variable in ls command
I am in /home/aaa path and trying to list all the files in different directory - the path to this directory is lengthy. For example: aa/bb/cc/dd/ee/ff/gg/hh/ii/jj... and also the path will change dynamically.
HEnce I capture the directory path in a variable. How to use this variable in ls command. The variable is $dir_name I currently have ls $dir_name out_* | wc -l To list all files starting with "out_" from directory in variable "$dir_name". This is not working. Please advise. Thanks! |
