Lightbulb Listing even numbered files
Hi All,
Could you please help in this case?
Case: there's a directory 'CKMDB'
in this directory, there are 30 files named in this manner
1.txt 2.txt 3.txt .... 30.txt
Could you please guide me how to list only even numbered
files like 2.txt 4.txt etc ?
Thanks in advance.
