Hello
I have application that part of its command I can get list of files to the stout . with the path .
like :
./blah/blah/foo.c
./blah11/blah11/foo11.c
./blah12/blah12/foo11.h

now I will like to filter this result and for instance see the "*.h" file or the "*.c" file or only the files that starts with foo
Thanks

if you pipe to grep -v what you dont want you will get the desired effect.

ie if you didnt want to see files called foo.c you would grep -v foo.c and get the following output:

./blah11/blah11/foo11.c
./blah12/blah12/foo11.h

But if you wanted files that start with foo, can contain anything else, and end in .c or .h, then use a regular expression to grab what you want.

e.g.
Either way, grep is what you want.

Cheers
