I have a question regarding directories. My homework question is this:
Use metacharacters and the
ls -lLcommand (with lower and upper case L) to list all filenames under the datafiles directory that contain a dot '.' with the letter 'f' or 'u' anywhere after the dot.
I know it begins ls -lL, but I'm not sure what else to put.

You can read the man page of ls, just type in your promptman ls, there you can read about your homework. Just a tip: I think that the option your are looking for isls -ILa. Greetings

filenames under the datafiles directory that contain a dot '.' with the letter 'f' or 'u' anywhere after the dot.
If I was to guess, it'd be something like:
ls -lL datafiles/*.*[fu]*
although the datafiles directory could be anywhere (else), and I find it a little odd that they're encouraging habitual use of the -L flag.
