ls with regular expression
I currently list and sort all the files in a directory which begin with an Upper Case C and end with the extension '#finished#'.
Here is the command I use:
ls -tr $currentDir/[C]*.#finished#
what i need to do now is list all the files in a directory that begin with upper case C and end with either '#finished#' or 'finsihed'.
can i do this with one `ls` statement?
my simple mind tries this:
filelist=`ls -tr $currentDir/[C]*.#finished#`
filelist=$filelist+`ls -tr $currentDir/[C]*.finished`
however I need to keep the sort order in tact for all files regardless of thier extension.
thanks
