regex for ls command
Forgive me if this has been posted, but I could not find them. I have thousands of files from a permutation as: Code:
intersect-1234.tab intersect-9914.tab intersect-0123456.tab intersect-9134512.tab ...... Basically there are two groups, one is the Code:
intersect-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].tab and the other is Code:
intersect-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].tab When I tried command: Code:
ls intersect-[0-9]\{4\}.tabor Code:
ls intersect-[0-9]\{6\}.tabneither worked but with error message: Code:
ls: cannot access intersect-[0-9]{6}.tab: No such file or directoryIt seems my regex is fine as when I used pipeline: Code:
ls *.tab | grep intersect-[0-9]\{6\}.tabI must have missed something with the regex for ls? Anyone please give me clue? Thanks for help! |

See the man page of your shell for a detailed list of file globs, but if they aren't sufficient for your purpose you will have to do like you dike already: "ls | grep <some_regexp>" or something similar (awk, sed, ... all use the same regexps). I hope this helps. bakunin |
