Hi All,
Is there an option for 'rm' to "remove everything but these files"?
For instance if I have:
a.txt <-- I just want to remove this one
a_1.txt
a_2.txt
Is there an option ? for this:
rm -? *_*.txt
Thanks,

I have a file from which the Header and the Trailer lines need to be removed. They are confirmed to be the first and the last lines in the file.
I have tried a few commands, but not successful yet. It needs to be implemented urgently, hence any help is greatly appreciated.
