1.	Solve : need help lsiting files?
Answer» i have a folder called 'lab2b' which contains a subfolder called 'lab2b_sub' in the 'lab2b_sub' folder, there are the FOLLOWING FILES: group.copy , lab2b_sub.copy , myProfile , passwd , passwd.copy from the 'lab2b' folder, how would i list all files in 'lab2b_sub' EXCEPT for myProfile? my guess is soething dealing with WILDCARDS and filter out the capital 'p' with square brackets and '!' but i cant figure it out.. im still new to unix XD hope someone can help me out ^^Homework question? What does ls lab2b_sub/[^myProfile]* do? (sh and Bash shells...)Quote Homework question? What does ls lab2b_sub/[^myProfile]* do? (sh and Bash shells...) it lists group.copy, passwd, passwd.copy doesnt not list myProfile or lab2b_sub.copy hm.. also when i tried "ls lab2b_sub/[!m]" its lists the 4 files and excludes myProfile, howerver, the list is not one line like a normal list looks like. but it looks something like this: group.copy passwd passwd.copy lab2b_sub.copy (my command line) --- is that wrong? or is that correct.. my guess is that lab2b_sub is on a separate line because it is a directory and the other 3 are files?Yup. Is this an assignment? Are you learning about shell expansion? How about using grep/awk?there's another way, check if you have --hide OPTION of your ls ? something like this Code: [Select]ls -l --hide=myProfile lab2/lab2_sub/ That option is from the GNU Coreutils - which O/S, distro and shell are you using, ghostdog?Quote That option is from the GNU Coreutils - which O/S, distro and shell are you using, ghostdog? hi there i am using Fedora core 5. i am just reading my ls man page and found this option...TESTED it out and seems to work...
