In this video, we dive into wildcards in Linux and how you can use them to quickly match files and directories from the command line.
Wildcards (also called globbing) let you save time and work with multiple files at once without typing their exact names. Using just the ls command, we’ll explore:
✨ * – match any characters
✨ ? – match exactly one character
✨ [ ] – match sets or ranges of characters
✨ [! ] – exclude characters
✨ Character classes like [:upper:], [:digit:], and more
By the end of this video, you’ll know how to confidently list and filter files using wildcards in Bash on Ubuntu.
