Those files have different names. Is there a reason you cannot extract the file by name?

More explanation of your situation would help us provide you with better advice.

Code:

cat NAV_ASDSTD10-UHC-20150616.txt

?

edit: maybe generically:

Code:

cat *[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9].txt

?

cat NAV_ASDSTD10-UHC-20150616.txt
cat NAV_ASDSTD10-UHC-20150616_trailer.txt...

2 diff file with same date but I want only .txt file not contain "_trailer.txt" in my ls command.

if you really dont want the NAV_ASDSTD10-UHC-20150616_trailer.txt file, is it possible for you to delete it ?

sorry, you are not really explaining yourself very well.

edit: is this what you want:

Code:

ls -lrt NAV_ASDSTD10-UHC-*[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9].txt
