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.
