Syntax for ls with Ignore pattern?
I would like my ls command to exclude files ending with a particular extension, e.g. hoh, so that I do not have to pipe the result to a grep command.
Apparently this can be done with the -I (Ignore) option, but what is the correct syntax?
All these attempts failed (ALL the current folder files were listed):
ls -I[hoh$]
ls -I [hoh$]
ls -I/hoh$/
ls -I /hoh$/
(If only the "--help" function had examples...)
Thanks!
