Wildcards
To help specifying file names easier, use wildcards.
'*' - zero or more characters
'?' - exactly one character
'[abc]' - exactly one a, b, or c
'[a-z]' - exactly one letter in the range a through z
'{foo,bar}' - either the string 'foo' or 'bar'
Examples
$ mv *.jpg ~/pics/
$ cat 200?-??-??-audit.txt > 2000-audit-logs
$ rm -i resume-199[3-6].html
$ display {camera,phone}-*.png
