You could change names to give the scope of the problem. However if you are unwilling to provide example data, you will continue to get half answers. > On Wed, Nov 14, 2001 at 05:26:10PM +0100, Thomas Ribbrock wrote: >> >> Well, how about >> echo `ls ~/mail | grep -v '^sent'` > > Damn!

Both: s#Mail/sent## and `ls ~/mail | grep -v '^sent'` Will fail in the event of filenames like `unsent' or `notsent' The `ls' example I cited can be refined to sort out those cases or any others too. >> Probably this will work depending on what file names are in there? >> >> ls Mail/[a-rt-z]* >> It will show all files except those beginning with `s' > > As I said in my first message, close but not close enough. Really?.. All I see is: `echo [^sent]*` `echo [^s]*` I see no examples of `ls' at all. Can you show an example of what gets included with above `ls [a-rt-z]*' syntax, changing the name if need be, to something that conveys the problem? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
