Well I haven't been able to get a regex working with find!
So far the following options don't work..
find . -regex ^[\d]{5}.+ -maxdepth 1
find . -regex '^[\d]{5}.+' -maxdepth 1
find . -regex './[\d]{5}.+' -maxdepth 1
find . -regex '^\.\/[\d].*' -maxdepth 1
find . -regex '^\.\/[\d].+' -maxdepth 1
Does anyone else build an exclude list with regedit?
make an include file: find all directories that start with five numeric
digits
find . -regex './[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].*' -maxdepth 1 -type d
ls -1 | grep -e '^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]'

find . -regex './[^0-9][^0-9][^0-9][^0-9][^0-9].*' -maxdepth 1 -type d
ls -1 | grep -e '^[^0-9][^0-9][^0-9][^0-9][^0-9]
ls -1 | grep -v -e '^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]'
find produces...
./dirname
and ls produces...
dirname
I think this is enough success for one day. I'll figure out which one
to use later! AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
