"^l*.ksh\>" but this gives me a null output.
The . in *. means any character, including . itself. If you want to capture the . in its entirety, you need to escape it, like \.

Another thing .* means any character followed by 0 or more characters. So l* means 0 or more occurences of l followed by a single character followed by ksh

In other words your pattern would have caught
Code:
l.ksh
.ksh
ll.ksh
llllllllll.ksh
2ksh
lmksh

build-jar-repository

BUILD-JAR-REPOSITO(1)						Java Packages Tools					     BUILD-JAR-REPOSITO(1)

NAME

       build-jar-repository - create a symbolic link to a JAR

SYNOPSIS

       build-jar-repository [OPTION]... DIRECTORY JAR|artifact-coordinates

DESCRIPTION

       Build a JAR repository in the named directory by copying files or creating symbolic links. The JARs can be identified by their names or
       Maven artifact coordinates. Artifact coordinates specify Maven artifact and are in format
       groupId:artifactId[:extension[:classifier]]:version. If extension is omitted then "jar" is used. If classifier is omitted then empty
       classifier is used. For more information see XMvn Configuration Reference.

OPTIONS

       If no option is specified the default action will be to create symbolic links

       -c, --copy
	   Copy files.

       -h, --hard
	   Create hard links.

       -p, --preserve-naming Try to preserve the names of the original JAR files (in case of a nested hit the slashes in the path will still be
       replaced by underscores). Using this option makes any future automated repository rebuild impossible, and implies -c unless specified
       otherwise.

       -s, --soft, --symbolic Create symbolic links (default).

       --help Display help text

EXAMPLES

       build-jar-repository . jndi - This will create a symbolic link to the jndi JAR in the current working directory.

       build-jar-repository -h /tmp log4j - This will create a hard link to the log4j JAR in /tmp directory.

       build-jar-repository -c . org.apache.commons:commons-io - This will copy commons-io JAR to the current working directory.
