Pattern Search with grep
Hello,

I have a bunch of zip files like

Code:
 
SS_SAMPLE_101_123.zip
SS_101_123.zip
SS_SAMPLE_121_345.zip
SS_SAMPLE_222_678.zip
SS_123_890.zip
SS_.zip

The 'ls' should search and list the files such as SS_101_123.zip and SS_123_890.zip alone. Could you please guide me with this. Smilie. I would like to return records with the name pattern

Code:
 
SS_<number>_<number>.zip

I do not fully understand what you are trying to achieve but a simple solution is just

Code:
ls "SS_101_123.zip" "SS_123_890.zip"

Do you want to search only those two files or all files which terminate with _101_123.zip etc?

How about
Code:
 ls SS_[0-9]*.zip

You may need to refine the pattern.
