Hi everybody!

I have been searching for an answer for 2 days in internet but i'm still unable to do what I want.

I have tons of files named in this way.

[L H]P[1-10]-[ec et ct][1 5 10].png

So for example, I have files named:

LP4-ec5.png
HP9-ct10.png
LP1-et1.png
LP10-ct10.png

and so on...

My idea was to create an interacting script in which I choose the files I want to view in a separate folder.

For example:

I want files starting with L or H, but the 3, 4 and 7, all ct and the last option number 1 (example).

So the files copied were:

LP3-ct1.png
HP3-ct1.png
LP4-ct1.png
HP4-ct1.png
LP7-ct1.png
HP7-ct1.png

Or other options...

Do you have any ideas on how to implement this?

Many thanks to you all!

Hi, welcome to LQ!

Not sure I fully understood, but is this what you're after... ?


Cheers,

Thank you!

Yes, that'll do the trick!
I was trying to use sed/grep/awk and it was a mess.

Thank you again!
