Hi,

The result is

$  ls | egrep -vi '^[a-z0-9\._]*$'
#MUSTER.txt
#MUSTER2.txt
#STONE.txt
$$$COIBM.txt

First, you should respond to the list and not just to me.  I'm certainly not
the only one who can help, and probably not even your best choice.

Hi again!

Hmmm...  OK.  Let's get rid of all of the "normal" files, since I certainly
wouldn't want to wade through 3000 of them.  Try

  ls | egrep -vi '^[a-z0-9\._]*$'

and, if the resultant list isn't too many, post what you get.  [If there are
lots, post a couple or tweak the egrep regular expression to exclude other
nondescript files.

Sure thing!
