Globbing
Sometimes it can be handy to specify more than one file for a command. This can be achieved with globbing See theglob man page on line
Or in a terminal do
man 7 glob
Examples
/home/user contains, beside others
a.b.12.34.hello.txt e.f.56.78.hello.txt i.j.90.23.freedom.txt liberty.txt
Only show files not containing hello and have at least 3 dots in the filename
ls -1 /home/user/*.*.*.*[0-9].[!]h]*.log
This does not work
ls -1 /home/user/*[0-9].[!]h]*.log
Here filename-2.txt filename-3.txt filename-4.txt and filename-1.txt are displayed not filename-10.txt
cat filename-[2,3,4,10].txt
Use
cat filename-[2,3,4].txt cat filename-10.txt
instead
