What other wildcards can I use?
The shell has other wildcards as well, though they are less commonly used:
?matches a single character, so201?.txtwill match2017.txtor2018.txt, but not2017-01.txt.[...]matches any one of the characters inside the square brackets, so201[78].txtmatches2017.txtor2018.txt, but not2016.txt.{...}matches any of the comma-separated patterns inside the curly brackets, so{*.txt, *.csv}matches any file whose name ends with.txtor.csv, but not files whose names end with.pdf.
Which expression would match singh.pdf and johel.txt but not sandhu.pdf or sandhu.txt?
