Which command is used to concatenate all files beginning with the string 'emp' and followed by a non-numeric characters ?

Correct answer: A. cat emp[!0-9]

  • A. cat emp[!0-9]
  • B. more [emp][!0-9]
  • C. cat emp[x-z]
  • D. cat emp[a-z]

Explanation

In a shell glob, `[!0-9]` matches one character that is not a digit, so `cat emp[!0-9]` selects names beginning with `emp` and having a non-digit next character. To allow any additional characters, a trailing `*` would also be needed.
