I guess this is kind of a newbie unix question. I have just learned about regular expressions within perl and so am trying to use them everyplace. :-) >From a command line what I would like to do is.... # mv *.[dump asc dat txt clean] tablecreation but this does not work. I end up having to... # mv *.dump tablecreation # mv *.asc tablecreation # mv *.dat tablecreation # mv *.txt tablecreation # mv *.clean tablecreation Is there anyway to do regular expression matching within commands? Thanks. --ja
