-====== Ubuntu - Bash - List files excluding some files ======
-Without enabled globbing files can be excluded by the second command of this code section:
-<code bash>
-# See all files ending in .html
-ls | grep "\.html$"
-# see all files not ending in .html
-ls | grep -v "\.html$"
-</code>
-If extended globbing is turned on, one should be able to execute
-<code bash>
-printf "%s\n" *!(.html)
-</code>
-in ksh and bash but I wasn't. I have this command from a forum so there's a chance that either my shell isn't working properly or the syntax has changed in the meantime.
-In zsh you enable globbing by inserting setopt extendedglob in .zshrc
-In the zsh this should work
-<code bash>
-ls path/*!(.html)
-</code>
-but I get zsh: number expected.
-Even though it's not working yet it's worth to add these commands to this list as the issue can be fixed by reading some more documentation like [[http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/zsh_a4.pdf|this one]] or [[http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/zsh_lovers|this one]]. At the moment I have no time to continue fixing.
