I have a directory with files in it. The first 3 letters of the file

Looking for sample .sh code for handling this standard type of lookup or
some online tutorial that has sample code for bourne shell programming.

Just for the fun of it. Try escaping the asterisk ("\*") and see if that
works?

Not in the script but on the command line. newjails rm2* as input to the script.
