Getting file names which does not end with .log
Hi All,
I have a directory in which all log files will be generated. Apart from the log files, there are a few other files also generated. I want the names of all files which does not end with .LOG.

consider the dir has the following files
Quote:
tbaf01012009.LOG
tbaf02012009.LOG
ebaf02012009.ERR
tbaf03012009.LOG
tbaf04012009.LOG
I want only ebaf02012009.ERR file.

Unix Experts, Please help. Thanks in advance.

The exclamation mark in "find" means not.

Code:
find /dir/ -type f ! -name \*\.LOG -print

If *.ERR is the only type you are interested in:

Code:
find /dir/ -type f -name \*\.ERR -print

ksh, zsh and bash support extended globbing:

[ksh]

Code:
print !(*.LOG)

[bash]

Code:
shopt -s extglob
printf '%s\n' !(*.LOG)


[zsh]

Code:
print ^*.LOG
