how list two files in a single command 1

[keerthi2016]

how to list the two files using the number.

i have tried the below command and it doesn't work.

ls -ltr  *TYSON.250.*.*27718* \*17717*

Projections.TYSON.250.US.FOOD.ALL.SAUDIT.37717.W1955_W1955.meta
Projections.TYSON.230.US.FOOD.ALL.SAUDIT.37717.W1955_W1955.meta

It's not clear exactly what you're trying to do. Which two files are you trying to list?

Your list of file names doesn't include either "27718" or "17717", so there should be no match with what you've given.

A couple ideas...

ls -ltr *TYSON.250.*.meta | egrep "27718|17717"

# or

ls -ltr *TYSON.250.*.27718.*.meta *TYSON.250.*.17717.*.meta

# or

ls -ltr *TYSON.250.*.[12]771[78].*.meta

# but that would also include "17718" and "27717" if they exist.

here's another idea:
((ls -ltr first_file_template) || (ls -ltr second_file_template)) > sort (optional)

Uh, that should be...

((ls -ltr first_file_template) || (ls -ltr second_file_template)) [b][highlight #FCE94F]|[/highlight][/b] sort

The '>' will create a file named 'sort'. You need to pipe it to sort ('|').

The logical 'and' (&&) is needed to list both files. Using a logical 'or' (||), it won't list the second file if the first file is found. Of course using 'and', it won't list either file if the first one isn't there.

This would be more concise...

(ls -ltr first_file_template ; ls -ltr second_file_template) [b]|[/b] sort

 

[johnherman]

yes, after I posted I realized that sort has a mandatory parameter for file name, thus pipe.
as for the ||, I screwed up thinking that the double pipe was the concatenate command (as it is in SQL).

Thanks to SamBones for the ocrrections.
