command for no-listing

[Stanimir]

Hi!
I have a simple question - how I could
list all files in directory, which is not matched a certain filter.
Something like "anti-grep"-command.

Regards.

Hi,

won't "grep -v" do ?

Cheers,
Kasper

You can do with grep -v or egrep -v or with awk.

ls | grep -v 'string'
ls | awk '!/string/ { print $0 }'

hth.

IF you want to do multiples strings then,

ls | grep -Ev 'string1|string2|..'
ls | egrep -v 'string1|string2|..'

hth.
