ls -ltr | grep -vE 'htm$|somethingelse'
Look at '-i' (case insensitive) option too.

To answer your last question specifically: ls -ltr | grep -v htm$ I don't know if ls has some sort of exclude option, so I would just use grep. Sean

What syntax would one use to list all the contents

For example, I know that: ls -ltr *htm
