google returns remakably few, for "txt txt" -"txt txt txt"
I'd be interested in knowing how to generalize:
ls -1d foo[123].ps
(which would list foo1.ps, foo2.ps, foo3.ps). The generalization
would be something like
ls -1d foo.[html,css,js]
to list foo.css, foo,js, and foo.html, but not foo.js~ or foo.js-2005-10-23-01
The way I know is
shopt -s extglob
ls -1d foo.+(html|css|js)
