Help with ls
Hello:

How could I avoid that ls-command returns an error when there are no files to list?

ls path/*.DEL

Thank you in advance.

Redirect the error output to /dev/null i.e.

Code:
ls path/*.DEL 2> /dev/null

Thank you vino but the ls is in a for-file-in loop.
Sorry that i didn't mention it in my post.

Excuse me for asking. What happens if it is in a for loop ?
