How to exclude certain files in `ls`?

reno_rita

I would like to run ls and exclude certain files in the output. When I run the following command, I get all files, each on a separate line: $ ls -1 file1 file2 file3 temp I would like to run this command in a way so that it shows: $ ls -1 <insert magic here> temp file1 file2 file3

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

ls -I <filename> -I : Ignore the filename, i.e. don't list the specified file. To ignore more than one file add a -I before each filename. ls -I file1 -I file2 To ignore files by their name extensions do the following, for example. ls -I "*.jpg" -I "*.svg"
