Wildcards
Wildcards provide handy filename substitution.
- E.g. ls *.c [list all files with extension ".c"]
In tcsh, square brackets substitute for a range.
- E.g. cp obs0[0-9].fits tmp [copy first 10 FITS files]
Curly brackets can be used to repeat patterns.
- E.g. a{b,c,d}e is shorthand for abe ace ade
Use \ or single quotes (') to disable substitution.
- E.g. cd Data\[Oct01\] or cd 'Data[Oct01]'
