Hi,

When I run the ls command I want to "filter" out files that is not to be
included in when making operations to the files. Any idea how I can to
that. These files shall not be included:

XTInput.java XPInput.java XRInput.jav XEInput.java

The ones to be filtered out are these for the moment but will change in
the future.

cheers,

//mikael

ksh

ls  !(X[EPRT]Input.jav?(a))

bash

shopt -s extglob
ls  !(X[EPRT]Input.jav?(a))

You can actually do this

ls -l |grep -v 'Input'

this might also stop all the files containing 'Input', if you have
other than the mentioned files.

ls -l |grep -v ' XTInput.java'|grep -v 'XPInput.java' |grep -v
'XRInput.jav' |grep -v 'XEInput.java'

This will certainly not include the below mentioned files.
