Hi ,

I have few lines like

A20120101.ANU.ZIP
A20120401.ABC.ZIP
A20120105.KJK.ZIP
A20120809.JUG.ZIP
A20120101.MAT.ZIP
B20120301.ANU.XIP

I want to filter by

  1. Files starting with A and Ending With Z ( ^A.*.ZIP$)
  2. And either ANU, or KJK or MAT in the file name.

Hope my requirement is clear. Please help.

ls | egrep '^A.*(ANU|KJK|MAT)\.ZIP$'

$ awk '/^A.*.ZIP$/&&(/ANU/||/KJK/||/MAT/)' file
A20120101.ANU.ZIP
A20120105.KJK.ZIP
A20120101.MAT.ZIP
4 
ls A*ANU.ZIP A*KJK.ZIP A*MAT.ZIP

ksh93 or bash with extended globbing turned on:

ls A*@(ANU|MAT|KJK).ZIP

@Scrutinizer: required was A not [A-Z]
But your 2nd example is great.
