Hello, Sorry for the lack for clarity. I want to list all the file end in .bib, except the file ending by -e.bib This can be done by (from the shell command) ls -d !(*@(-e)).bib or by find . !(*@(-e)).bib
but, as soon as I put one of these commands in a script file, it does not work Is it clear? =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdu...@gmx.com Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel.
