can we list other than c files in a directory with only 'ls' command?
Guys,
can anybody help me in the following........

I have different types(c files,ordinary text files etc) in a directory.
is there any way to list other than .c files using the 'ls' command only.

i tried with the following.

ls *.[!c]*.
its not listing the .c files,but at the same time not listing the files which ends with c [eg: filec]
is there anywhy to get it with only 'ls' command.

Thanks in advance....

Try this...

ls !(*.c)

From man ksh....
Quote:
In addition to the notation described in regexp(5), ksh recognizes
composite patterns made up of one or more pattern lists separated from
each other with a |. Composite patterns can be formed with one or
more of the following:

?(pattern-list) Optionally matches any one of the given patterns.

*(pattern-list) Matches zero or more occurrences of the given patterns.

+(pattern-list) Matches one or more occurrences of the given patterns.

@(pattern-list) Matches exactly one of the given patterns.

!(pattern-list) Matches anything, except one of the given patterns.
