ls

I'm using msysgit (1.7.9), and I'm looking for the right invocation of the git ls-files command to show just the (tracked) files and directories at the current level, either from the index, or the current working directory if that's easier. Essentially it would give a directory listing similar that that you would see on Github. Coming from Windows, I'm not too familiar with the right way of doing the globbing(?). I think you want git ls-tree HEAD sed'd to taste. The second word of ls-tree's output will be tree for directories, blob for files, commit for submodulesm, the filename is everything

My script has to list all files between a given range of date within a file name (ex: 20130133.212001.log). The start date and end date will be given by user. I now have start_year, end_year, start_month, end_month....so on till end_second. My plan was to use ls syntax: ls *{start_year..end_year}{start_month..end_month}{.....}.log But the problem is if month or date has 01 bash is taking it as 1. Indeed my bash version is older than 4. I can't considering updating the bash version. Any other method that I use to list files in such range. [EDIT] $> cat tmp.sh #! /bin/bash start_year=2013 end

When we have defined tens of functions - probably to develop a new package - it is hard to find out the name of a specific variable among many function names through ls() command. In most of cases we are not looking for a function name - we already know they exist - but we want to find what was the name we assigned to a variable. Any idea to solve it is highly appreciated. If you want a function to do this, you need to play around a bit with the environment that ls() looks in. In normal usage, the implementation below will work by listing objects in the parent frame of the function, which will
