Hi, I want to excluse a specific filename (say, fubar.log
) from a shell (bash) globbing string, *.log
. Nothing of what I tried seems to work, because globbing doesn't use the standard RE set.
Test case : the directory contains
fubar.log
fubaz.log
barbaz.log
text.txt
and only fubaz.log barbaz.log
must be expanded by the glob.
