eg: file.txt file file.c

outputs : file

Hi Sophia,

Just pipe the ls command to the sed one-liner that i'd provided earlier.

ls | sed 's/^\(.*\)\..*/\1/'

That should work -- Or am I mistaken about your requirement(s)?

Hi,

what is the requirement exactly?

- ramd.

[Bill Douglass]

ls | grep -v "^.*\."

This will filter out file names with a . in them.
