Hi, thanks to everyone for replying however I think i failed to define the problem accurately :
i have files assigned to @files variable : 2168a5_vow_band_1.fea 169b2_vow_band_1.fea 2168d6_vow_band_1.fea 2168d5_vow_band_1.fea 169g3_vow_band_1.fea neutral.txt And i want the files say for eg suffix d and 1 and with extension fea.The thing is if i try to match d all will get matched for obvious reason. basically I wanna generate the same output as of the following command on shell prompt : ls ???[g][^1] *.fea ** will generate all files whose 4th char is g followed by character which is not 1. ls ???[^g][^1] *.fea Many Thanks....please do send in ur replies.
