file1.log.1.123

i want ls -ltr command to list only 1st type of files

so i want like this

ls -ltr *.log.* ---------it should grep 1st kind of files but this command greps all the files both of type 1 and 2.

try:

ls -ltr | grep ".log.[0-9]$"

how many kinds of type 1 files do you have. For only those 2 types tested

# ls -ltr *.log.[1-9]

file1.log.10

ls -ltr *.log.[1-9] --------its grepping those file which have till 9,even i wnt to grep all the numbers like for example file1.log.12.

if you are sure you do not have any other characters beside numbers

ls -ltr *.log.? *.log.?? *.log.???

or

ls -ltr *.log.[0-9]*

or just

ls -ltr *.log.[0-9]  *.log.[0-9] [0-9] *.log.[0-9] [0-9][0-9]

If you have other more advanced criteria, then the above doesn't really suit your needs....
