Print file names in a loop
OS : RHEL 6.1
Shell : Bash

I have lots of files in /tmp/stage directory as show below.

Using a loop, I need to print all the filenames in this directory except those ending with a number. How can I do this ?

Code:
# pwd
/tmp/stage
#
#
# ls -l *
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Oct  7 18:38 stmt1
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Oct  7 18:38 stmt2
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Oct  7 18:38 stmt7
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Oct  7 18:38 stmta
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Oct  7 18:38 stmtb
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Oct  7 18:38 stmtc
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Oct  7 18:38 stmtd

You don't need a loop for this task:
Code:
$ ls
stmt1  stmt2  stmt7  stmta  stmtb  stmtc  stmtd
$ shopt -s extglob
$ printf '%s\n' !(*[0-9])
stmta
stmtb
stmtc
stmtd
