Hello,
How can I put this command in a script file?
FILES=`ls -d !(*@(-e)).bib`
I get an error because of the (
Have you tried to "escape" them
FILES=`ls -d !\(*@\(-e\)\).bib`
For me, it works under bash like this:
ls `[ ! \(*@\(-e\)\).bib ]`

Patrick, it would help the list members GREATLY, if you explain
in plain english, WHAT are you trying to achieve with that ls -d
.....etc command?
I ran your command in my home dir as follows:
$ ls -d `[ !(*@(-e)).bib \]`
./
As you can see, it only lists ./ as the directory (which is what the -d
tells ls to restrict it's listing of.
So, something is not 'right' with your concoction or 'usage' of the
params you are passing to ls.
