Hello all. Hope you can help. I am looking for a complete command to search for a file named HOSPCHK. The file could be listed with numbers after it like [0-9] it could be listed with letters after it [a-z] or a combination of both or just by it self. The other catch is the file that I want to look for has no extention on it. So I have been playing with the following:
Can you suggest anything that would capture that file a better way?
Thanks for any help with this.
