Can anyone advise how do I use ls to do a selective amd sorted listing of file that I want to have as below?
Am looking for files that are named as log_<nnnn>.txt, where <nnnn> are numeric, i.e. I want to have a listing sorted from the newest to the oldest of files that starts with log_ and with a .txt extension and the characters in between these two can only be numeric, example log_1.txt, log_234.txt, log_222.txt etc.
I want to exclude files like log_9ab.txt, log_a9b.txt., log_99a.txt
I thought I can get away with doing
Code:
ls -1tr log_[0-9][0-9]*.xml
but unfortunately the * list also files like log_99a.txt.
I want to be able to only list files where the characters in between log_ and .txt are numeric, unfortunately, sometimes, there can be 2, 3 or 5 numeric characters.
Any advise will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The result is perfect. The encrypted file is in the directory just as if i'd issued the pgp command from the command line.

Hello,
I have been using the command below for file manipulation.
while read A B; do grep $f1; done < f2 > f3
So, if a certain string is found in f2 (for ex; DOG243435) and it is also present in f1, then print that string plus the contents of the line in which it was found onto f3.

dh_installlisting
DH_INSTALLLISTING(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation DH_INSTALLLISTING(1)NAME
dh_installlisting - install .listing files to be used by desktop-profiles package
SYNOPSIS
dh_installlisting [debhelper options] [filename(s)]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installlisting is a debhelper program that handles installing listing files used by the desktop-profiles package into the correct
location in package builddirectories (NOTE: this command is provided by the desktop-profiles package, so don't forget to build-depends on
it). It also updates the cache of profile assignments (when it exists) to reflect the added metadata.
If a file named debian/package.listing exists (or debian/listing in case of the main package) it is installed in etc/desktop-profiles. In
addition any files given as argument will be installed in etc/desktop-profiles as package_file.listing. The format of .listing files is
described in desktop-profiles(7).
A dependancy on desktop-profiles will be added to misc:Depends by using this script.
