I am trying to locate all files on a linux server that fit this profile:
sfvhebviweuiber9.html
sfvhebviweuiber11.html
jdjhwn2jjsfy2q10.html
Where the first 10-15 characters are a-z, followed by [1-15], then .html.
How can I use locate (or any other method) to find all files that fit this profile?
The differences are basically the first 10-15 characters as they are made up of random alphabet characters.
I don’t quite get the “[1-15]” part of your description, but I think this would do. You can refine the
.*part in the regex
