Grep + Regular expression or
Hi ,

I have few lines like

Code:
A20120101.ANU.ZIP
A20120401.ABC.ZIP
A20120105.KJK.ZIP
A20120809.JUG.ZIP
A20120101.MAT.ZIP
B20120301.ANU.XIP

I want to filter by

1. Files starting with A and Ending With Z ( ^A.*.ZIP$)
2. And either ANU, or KJK or MAT in the file name.

Hope my requirement is clear. Please help.

Code:
ls A*ANU.ZIP A*KJK.ZIP A*MAT.ZIP

ksh93 or bash with extended globbing turned on:
Code:
ls A*@(ANU|MAT|KJK).ZIP

@Scrutinizer: required was A not [A-Z]
But your 2nd example is great.
