Listing everything else than *{.tex, .aux} by ls

Question

How can you ls everything else the the files *{.tex, .aux}?

I run unsuccessfully

ls -I".tex"

Answer 1

ls -I*.tex -I*.aux

or

ls --hide=*.tex --hide=*.aux

Answer 2

If you use bash and have the extglob shell option set (which is usually the case):

ls !(*.tex|*.aux)

Answer 3

If you're using zsh with EXTENDED_GLOB option set:

pattern~negpattern

where 'pattern' is what you want to match, except for anything matching 'negpattern'.

Example:

ls -d *~*.mp3

will list all the files in your cwd except those ending in '.mp3'.

If you're not using zsh, give it a try, this kind of intelligent expansion is everywhere.

Answer 4

you may use:

ls | grep -v *.tex | grep -v *.aux
