why ll list only *.mkv.
 
I must say sorry to friends from linux question..

I just asked a stupid question.I finally found out why I can't get the result I want.

Here's my question
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 288117821 2010-10-26 17:02 Friends - S02E24 - NTSC DVD DD2.0 x264 MMI.mkv
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 34269 2010-10-26 16:58 Friends - S02E24 - NTSC DVD DD2.0 X264 MMI.srt


# ll Friends\ -\ S02E24\ -\ NTSC\ DVD\ DD2.0\ x*
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 288117821 2010-10-26 17:02 Friends - S02E24 - NTSC DVD DD2.0 x264 MMI.mkv

It list just *.mkv.Because I mistook the letter "X" with "x".
It's a problem of case sensitivity...
So stupid I am..

Maybe non space white space in the file name.

How to check it:
ls Friends* > out.dump
od -c out.dump

Please don't do this. Instead, leave your post intact so that others with the same (or similar) problems may benefit. LQ rarely deletes posts.

Yes please - Nylex is right; please restore your original post, and perhaps add a link to where you located the solution. This would be most beneficial to the community as a whole. P.S. - don't forget to put the thread title back! :)

Thanks!

I'm sorry.Friends.
I have put the thread back..
So stupid question I asked.
What's more,so stupid what I have done after I found out the cause of my problem.

Why are you calling yourself stupid so much?

Anyway, since I see that this is solved, mark the thread as solved.
