Hello,
I have a bunch of zip files like
SS_SAMPLE_101_123.zip
SS_101_123.zip
SS_SAMPLE_121_345.zip
SS_SAMPLE_222_678.zip
SS_123_890.zip
SS_.zip
The 'ls' should search and list the files such as SS_101_123.zip and SS_123_890.zip alone. Could you please guide me with this. :rolleyes:. I would like to return records with the name pattern
SS_<number>_<number>.zip
I do not fully understand what you are trying to achieve but a simple solution is just
ls "SS_101_123.zip" "SS_123_890.zip"
Do you want to search only those two files or all files which terminate with _101_123.zip etc?
Hello, Thanks for the reply, I would like to list all the records with the pattern SS_<number>_<number>.zip 
How about
ls SS_[0-9]*.zip
You may need to refine the pattern.
SS_[0-9]*_[0-9]*.zip
Thank You very much.:o
