how to exclude file when changing permission
I have files as below:

erf100.sh
erf101.sh
erf102.sh
erf103.sh
erf104.sh
erf105.sh


I can easily change permission of all files to 755 by issuing command below:

chmod 755 erf*.sh;

how do i change permission of all files but excluding file erf102.sh?

thanks

best regards

Code:
ls directory | while read file;do if [ ! "$file" == "erf102.sh" ];then chmod 755 "$file";fi;done

You can use something like this,

Code:
chmod 777 erf10[^2]*.sh
