If it accepts regex, why not just use the original criteria where it excludes extensions: [^.]* That should exclude '.' from being a character anywhere in the filename if I'm reading the comment at http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr/1.3/apr__fnmatch_8h-source.html correctly If it was a full regex, then you might have to do [^\.]* since '.' would be a special character then. > > > > > > Alternatively, one common differentiating aspect of these files is that > > > they have executable privileges.
