How to list files with specific condition?
Hi All,

Seeking for your assistance on how to list all files with letter h15 above on files.

Code:
ex.
ab0320443h14.zip
ab0320443b13.zip
ar0330016b15.zip
ar0330016h15.zip
ar0330267a16.zip
ar0330263c16.zip

output:
ar0330016h15.zip
ar0330267a16.zip
ar0330263c16.zip

Please advise,

Thanks,

Would any two digit number, e.g. ar0330263c21.zip, satisfy the target condition as well?

Is this a homework assignment? Homework and coursework questions can only be posted in the Homework & Coursework forum under special homework rules.

If this is not homework, please explain why you need an unlimited list of files that sort alhahumerically higher than another file's name.

i tried also
ls *h>15*.zip ---ambigous redirect

but my code is wrong. T_T

How come a16 is "above" h15? Lexicographically it would sort below.

Thanks,
Would any of these work?:

Code:
ls | perl -ne '$p=1 if /h15.zip$/; print if $p'
ar0330016h15.zip
ar0330263c16.zip
ar0330267a16.zip

Code:
ls | perl -ne 'print if $_ ge "ar0330016h15.zip"'
ar0330016h15.zip
ar0330263c16.zip
ar0330267a16.zip
