Re: Force "ls" to show .exe extension

[Tom Robinson <barefootguru at gmail dot com>]

If you don't want to specify the extension, can you specify as asterisk?

[3236 CBGSAS04:~/Documents]$ touch name.exe

[3237 CBGSAS04:~/Documents]$ ls -l name
-rw-r--r--+ 1 cbg.tom Domain Users 0 Jan  7 09:34 name

[3238 CBGSAS04:~/Documents]$ ls -l name.exe
-rw-r--r--+ 1 cbg.tom Domain Users 0 Jan  7 09:34 name.exe

[3239 CBGSAS04:~/Documents]$ ls -l name*
-rw-r--r--+ 1 cbg.tom Domain Users 0 Jan  7 09:34 name.exe
