5.3) Using Wildcards (cont'd)


The result will be:

File
File1
File2
File354

So the ‘*’ symbol means any number of other characters after the word FILE (or nothing more, as in the case of File). This is a very useful wildcard. You can also try using more than one ‘*’. For example, try:

ls *le*

will give the same result of:

File
File1
File2
File354
