Wildcards and Globbing

Wildcards let you match multiple files with a pattern instead of typing each name individually.

Common wildcards

• * — matches any number of characters: *.txt matches all .txt files
• ? — matches exactly one character: file?.txt matches file1.txt, fileA.txt
• [abc] — matches one character from the set: file[123].txt

Examples

ls *.txt          # list all .txt files
cp *.css backup/  # copy all CSS files to backup
rm temp_*         # remove files starting with temp_

Your Task

A directory contains a mix of files. Use ls with a wildcard pattern to list only the .log files. There should be 3 of them.
