Hi to all.Well I have come up with this command

ls -a|grep '^[A-Z]'

but it is also lists the directories.I'm looking for a command to list inly files.
Thanks in advance..

find * -maxdepth 0 -type f | grep '^[A-Z]'

'f' stands for 'file'.
There is also a built in regex evaluator in find so you won't have necessarily to grep.

# ls -ap|grep '^[A-Z].*[^/]$'

ls -p puts a / on the end of all directories that are listed. Regexp brakedown:

^[A-Z] -- line that begins with uppercase character
. -- any character
* -- the . any number of times
[^/]$ -- exclude lines with / right before end of line

Not tested but I think it would do the job.

Thank you both for your answers.Both commands work great.

Well,another question now is how to list all the files that were created a specific month.I tried something similar,but it didn't work.Here is the code:

read -p "give the month in 2 digit number" month
echo "the number of files created on $month is:"
ls -ap|grep '\-\'$month'\-[^/]$'|wc -l

Any ideas how to fix it..?

After trial and error I found that this command does the job:

ls -l|grep '\-\'$month'\-'|grep -v ^d|wc -l

Thanks for your advices.You've been very helpful.
