Hello Guys,
Thanks a lot for your help.
However I have a new question now.
My file will be of type
Code:
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.DAT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.DAT.SKIP
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.DAT.ERROR

I have got the answer of how to pick up FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.DAT. But now the problem is DAT can be TXT and there can be lot of files . Like,

Code:
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.DAT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.TXT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413562.DAT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413563.DAT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.DAT.SKIP
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.DAT.ERROR

So,
I cannot use ????_????_????_????OP_*.??? to transfer all files with OP in middle and ending with .DAT or.TXT to other folder.

????_????_????_????OP_*.???* will pick up .ERROR and .SKIP files as well, so how do I skip the .ERROR and .SKIP files and transfer rest to other folder ?

Please help

I don't understand.
Code:
$ ls -1
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.DAT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.TXT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413562.DAT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413563.DAT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.DAT.SKIP
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.DAT.ERROR
$ ls -1 ????_????_????_????OP_*.???
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.DAT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.TXT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413562.DAT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413563.DAT

Aren't these the expected ones?
If yes you can copy/move them to other folder:
Code:
cp  ????_????_????_????OP_*.???  /other/folder/

Dear Friends,

Thanks. maybe my previous post was not up to the mark to explain what is required.

My current directory is like, below
----------------------------
Code:
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413562.DAT_bkp
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413563.DAT_bkp
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDEX_20150716_00413562.DAT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDEX_20150716_00413563.DAT
FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413561.DAT

-------------------------------
Now with ????_????_????_????OP*.??? I will get one file (the last one in above list). How to get a negation of that ? I mean how to list all other files except for these ones which have been derived using the mentioned wildcard ? Please help Smilie I tried -I, did not work.

something like
Code:
ls *|grep -v "$(ls ????_????_????_????OP_*.???)"

but this is getting ridiculous, why not say exactly what you want : All the requisites and give ALL the information?

Ok guys, this is my exact requirement.

My current working directory.
=========================================
Code:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 dev115 devt 299884 Aug 13 15:09 FORM_PTIR_9820_ANFDOP_20150716_00413562.DAT_bkp

=====================================

now I have to move the files which are excluded from the wildcard ????_????_????OP*.??? to a folder called NOTProcessed.

list will give me a set of files which I will have to write in a txt file and then move them one by one.

How can we achieve move with this ?

Say,
Code:
  ls -ltr | grep -v  ????_????_????_????OP*.??? | grep -v ^d

gives me set of all files excluding directory (in any). Now I want to move these files(result set from ls command) to folder NOTProcessed. How can we achieve this ? I want to avoid file names to be written in a txt file and then loop over these names and put one by one. Can we move this in a single command ? Kindly help ! I need it badly...

Try this one
Code:
for i in *
do
  if [[ -f "$i" ]] && [[ "$i" != ????_????_????_????OP_*.??? ]]
  then
    echo mv "$i" NOTProcessed/
  fi
done

Instead of * you can use e.g. FORM* do reduce the scope.
Remove the echo to activate.

With a recent bash, for a selection inversion, try
Code:
shopt -s extglob
ls !(????_????_????_????OP*.???)
