How can I use a logical AND in a shell pattern (glob)?
[:glob:"Globs"] are simple patterns that can be used to match filenames or strings. They're generally not very powerful. If you need more power, you can use the !() extglob operator. You'll need extglob set. It can be checked with:
$ shopt extglob
and set with:
$ shopt -s extglob
To warm up, we'll move all files starting with foo AND not ending with .d to directory foo_thursday.d:
$ mv foo!(*.d) foo_thursday.d
For the general case:
Delete all files containing Pink_Floyd AND not containing The_Final_Cut:
$ rm !(!(*Pink_Floyd*)|*The_Final_Cut*)
By the way: these kind of patterns can be used with KornShell and KornShell93, too. They don't have to be enabled there, but are the default patterns.
