Hello all, I have a question partly inspired by the question here, which asks how to find a file with a known prefix. Now, what if I want to suppress a specific prefix, but not use more complicated strfind (although I could use startsWith) operation using the 'dir' command. The obvious example is avoiding all files starting with a period: '.example.txt'.
Is there a simple way to suppress certain prefixes using 'dir'? How about suppressing suffixes or extensions (rather than exhaustively looking for the extensions you do want)?
