select .txt from .txt in a directory
How do you decide which ones you need? Is there some pattern that lets you distinguish needing df.txt from not needing ds.txt? You say you "have the names" - how do you have them? In a text file? What are you trying to do with the text files? Sarah

Hi, I have 300 .txt files in a directory. Out of this 300, I need just 100 of the files. I have the names of the 100 .txt files which are also found in the 300 .txt files. How can I extract only the 100 .txt files from the 300 ,txt files? e.g given d1.txt, ds.txt, dx.txt, df.txt...d300.txt, how can I select only d1.txt and df.txt? Remember, I have 300 of such and want to extract 100 of them with names known. Thanks for your great help. Atem.
