The !(ZMAT*|...) syntax requires the bash extglob option.
This must be explicitly enabled in a non-interactive session
(like a script).  For example:

    #!/bin/bash

    shopt -s extglob
    /usr/bin/rm -v !(ZMAT*|out*|Out*|GENBAS|Note*)

Fantastic,
Thanks.

How can I leave this mode extglob ?


Well you might wonder why Todd used the "-s" option for shopt.
That is to "enable" or "set" the option to on.

Likely a manpage peek would show an option to turn off extglob.
Hint, it is probably "disable" or "unset".
