How to include hidden files in ls pattern match?
I was just trying to list files in the current directory with a certain pattern, but it doesn't work with hidden files. How can I match all the files?
I tried
ls *foo*
and
ls -a *foo*
Not finding anything in Google, the keywords I can think of to search for this lead to a lot of unrelated informations...
Solution 1:
Enable globbing for hidden files:
shopt -s dotglob
ls *foo*
Disable:
shopt -u dotglob
Show globbing status:
shopt dotglob
