1) I want to display all the files in a directory that start with the word chapter, are followed by a digit 1,2,6,8, or 9 and end with .eps or .prn
so I came up with this
but is there a better way, i.e. combining both file types into the command?
2)I want to display all the types of files in home dir whose name do not start with a,k,G,Q in which the third letter in the name is not a digit and not a letter(upper or lowercase)
Code:
file ~[b-j,l-z,A-F,H-P,R-Z]
(<-- there must be a better way)(I have no idea how to check that the third char is not a digit or letter)?
I have gone over the chapter 3 times and can't find a solution.
btw, this is not a h/w assignment, just self study.
thanks for any help
