UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hello,

I am uning IRIX64. I need to do an ls - 1 (one) command in order to get a one colum listing of the contents of a non current directory:

t01:~ [119] > ls -1 /scratch/u118807/reconstruct
./
../
fr000202.rec
fr000202.sin
input_files/
input_files.tar
sin000000.rec
sin000000.sin
sym000000.raw

Now, I need to list ONLY the files with extensions .raw, .sin, or .rec as follows:

t01:~ [120] > ls -1 /scratch/u118807/reconstruct/*.{rec,raw,sin}
/scratch/u118807/reconstruct/fr000202.rec
/scratch/u118807/reconstruct/fr000202.sin
/scratch/u118807/reconstruct/sin000000.rec
/scratch/u118807/reconstruct/sin000000.sin
/scratch/u118807/reconstruct/sym000000.raw

The problem above is that I do not want the path in front of the files, I only want the filenames by themselves:

fr000202.rec
fr000202.sin
sin000000.rec
sin000000.sin
sym000000.raw

I do not want to "cd" to the directory "/scratch/u118807/reconstruct" to achieve what I want, I want to do everything from the home directory.

I tried using pipes in order to do this, but it did not work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Try:
ls -1 /scratch/u118807/reconstruct/*.{rec,raw,sin} | sed 's=.*/=='

Here you go...


ls -la /path/to/files/{*.rec,*.sin} |awk -F\ / '{ print $NF }'

the \ / Is to remove the special significance of the / so that UNIX will see it as a normal text character and not a special character...

$NF will print the last Field of a line the -F\ / uses the / as a field delimiter...

Thank you both! The two solutions worked. I wonder what is the 's=.*/=='.

if i m not wrong = is just another command seperator as in /
for eg we can use s/<firstpattern>/<secondpattern>/g

here / acts as the seperator, but in case ur string has / then u might go for \/ or other seperators as ?, = etc

correct me if i m wrong. by the way i thing the term seperator i used is wrong, what is it called anyway

thanks

oh forgot about the .*

. means any printable character and * is any number of occurences of the character preceding the *

so s=.*/==' means
s --- search
= --- the separator that i talked before of
.*/ -- occurence of any character (.) folowed any number of times (*) and ending with a slash (/)
= --- replace the above searched pattern with
= --- this is more like a ''= meaning replace with null and end the command

hope this is explainable enough
I would suggest you to study about sed, ed etc to help u understand these things better

warm regards

You were right about the separator '='. I tried:

's/.*\///'

And it works exaclty the same!

Thank you all for your help.
