How to select only those file names whose name contains only numerals.
Hi Guru's,

Before writing to this forum I have searched extensively on this forum about my problem.

I have to write a shell script which takes out only those file names from the given directory which contains only numbers. For example, In the given directory these files are present:

11059813.xls
59813.xls
059813.xls
813.xls
Names_0767957.xls
Summary.xls

So out of the above file names, the script output should select only the files whose name consists of numbers i.e.

11059813.xls
59813.xls
059813.xls
813.xls

I am a novice in this area. Please help me out all Guru's, as this is urgent for me.

Thanks.
