Wildcards

When searching for, copying or deleting files, you can use "wildcards" if you are not sure of the file's exact name.

ls man*

would find the following files:

manual, manual.txt, man-o-man.

Use a question mark when you're sure about all but one or two characters. For example,

ls man?

would find a file called mane, but not one called manual.
