A path or a pattern match? For example, to list all the pdf files in your current directory you would do

ls *.pdf

where * is a wildcard that matches 0 or more letters. The path is where the files live, so to list all the pdf files in your documents folder you would do

ls ~/Documents/*.pdf

The ~ gets converted by the shell to be your login account location. So for me it gets turned into

ls /users/cblouch/Documents/*.pdf

so the ~ can save a lot of typing.

Hi.

I will have to write a path in terminal, but how do I do that. Which format to 
write paths in. Please show me an example.

If I want to do a speciffic task for everything in this folder with a given 
nickname that could e.g. be .mobi, how can I do that. I mean which command to 
use before the dot in windows it is *., but how is it on the mac?

Best regards Annie.
