Pattern matching in BASH
i have 255 files in a directory named 000po.k thru 255po.k
and I want to copy all files except 3: exclude 000po.k, 166po.k,168po.k
I know the long way around it copying these files, but am looking for a shorter way of doing this:
my old approach:
# copy 001po.k thru 009po.k to target directory
cp $SRC/0[0-9][1-9]po.k $TGT
# copy 100po.k thru 159po.k
cp $SRC/1[0-5][0-9]po.k $TGT
... etc etc etc ...
my new approach is to exclude the files I don't want to copy, but
this isn't working for me.
cp $SRC/!(000po.k|166po.k|168po.k) $TGT
syntax error near unexpected token `('
TIA for your help.

NAME
dradio - Danmarks Radio netradio player configuration file
SYNOPSIS
~/.config/dradio/menu.xml
DESCRIPTION
The dradio(1) configuration is a simple XML file with a list of menu items. This file should be edited, to reorder, to remove, or to add
playlist URL's to fit your preferences. See dradio-config(1) for help to regenerate the configuration.
CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
<menu> The root element.
<item label="LABEL" src="SRC" type="[direct | playlist | rss]" />
A menu item. The LABEL attribute value is the display name of the channel/podcast. The SRC attribute value is the channel/podcast
URL. The type attribute determines which kind of URL the SRC points to, and how mplayer must be invoked to play it. If the type is
'direct' no extra mplayer options are applied, if the type is 'playlist' the mplayer -playlist option is applied, if the type is
'rss' it is assumed SRC is a RSS 2.0 podcast URL.
FILES
~/.config/dradio/menu.xml
The menu configuration file.
