I haven't tested it either, but the basic principles used by RavinderSingh13 look sound. But the logic is slightly off. If you are trying to exclude files with names ending in .txt and exclude files with names ending in .csv you want an AND of the ! -name clauses; not an OR. And, with all ANDs, the parentheses aren't needed. And, the -name primaries require a single argument, so an argument containing an asterisk has to be quoted. And, it will be much more efficient to pass ls multiple operands rather than invoking ls for each selected file individually. And, finally, note that the sample lookup file uses both commas and a semicolon as field separators (although the semicolon on the 1st line might be a typo). I think the commands you need are more like:
So, try:

elf_rand
elf_rand(3E)elf_rand(3E)NAME
elf_rand - random archive member access
SYNOPSIS
[flag... ] file... [library] ...
DESCRIPTION
and manipulate simple object files and archives. elf is an ELF descriptor previously returned from
provides random archive processing, preparing elf to access an arbitrary archive member. elf must be a descriptor for the archive itself,
not a member within the archive. offset gives the byte offset from the beginning of the archive to the archive header of the desired mem-
ber. See elf_getarsym(3E) for more information about archive member offsets. When works, it returns offset. Otherwise it returns 0,
because an error occurred, elf was null, or the file was not an archive (no archive member can have a zero offset). A program may mix ran-
dom and sequential archive processing.
EXAMPLES
An archive starts with a ``magic string'' that has bytes; the initial archive member follows immediately. An application could thus pro-
vide the following function to rewind an archive (the function returns -1 for errors and 0 otherwise).
#include <ar.h>
#include <libelf.h>
int
rewindelf(Elf *elf)
{
if (elf_rand(elf, (size_t)SARMAG) == SARMAG)
return 0;
return -1;
}
