Learn Globbing & Wildcard in Linux - Quicker Than Having Cup of Coffee
#DecodeITeS
In this lesson, I'm going to teach you about using globbing and wildcards.
So what is this globbing about?
Well, globbing is a shell FEA that helps in matching filenames.
It is not to be confused with regular expressions, a topic that we will talk about later, and which'll help to find text patterns.
For documentation about globbing, there is a man page. The man page is in section 7 of the man pages. If you type man 7 glob, then you can see the official documentation as presented in the man page.
File globbing is a feature that is provided by the UNIX/Linux shell to represent multiple filenames (s) by using a special character(s) called wildcards with a single file name.
A wildcard is essentially a symbol that might be used to substitute for one or more character(s). Therefore, we can use wildcards for generating the appropriate file names combination as per our requirement.
