How to display a list of files in a directory whose name starts with the given characters?

Question

linux

What parameters of the ls command should be used to list the files in a directory whose name starts with the given characters (letters)?

Answer 1

The command is called ls .
She has no such options.
But if you've seen something like ls a* somewhere, it will most likely work as you want, not because ls is so smart, but because your shell has replaced a* with a list of files starting with a . You might as well write echo a* and see the same list.

Answer 2

You can write
ls | grep ^[abc]
Print to the console all files in the current directory that start with a,b or c
or
ls | grep ^abc- print all files that start with abc
There is no option for regular expressions in ls itself.

Answer 3

write

ls -d a*
ls -d b*
ls -d abc*
