Simple ? ls problem

Hi all

Can anyone tell me how to get a list of files EXCEPT the ones with a specific extension, eg .tar ?

Hi,

Not sure if there is an option to do this with ls but you could use ls | grep -v ".tar" and this would give you the same result.

HTH,

Peter

Yes. we can do it with grep and ls as,

ls | grep -v ".tar$"

We can do recurvisely in sub-dir too with -F option of ls too.

We can add two extension's with -E as,

ls | grep -Ev ".gz$|.tar$"

Hi,

use

find ! -name "*. -print

eg

find . ! -name "*.tar" -print (or -exec ls -l {} \;)

Regards

Franky

You can do this in a ksh (try it in a posix shell!):

ls !(*.tar)
