I am trying to figure out how to list files with wildly different
suffixes where something like file.[1-9][a-z] will not work. For example,
how does one list the likes of

        file.ax, file.fred, file.old

While the syntax is incorrect, what I am thinking is along the lines of

        ls file.[ax,fred,old]

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Ralph

in the csh ls file.{ax,fred,old} will do it.

If your shell supports it:

        ls file.{ax,fred,old}
