## DESCRIPTION

g.mlist searches for data files matching a pattern given by wildcards or POSIX Extended Regular Expressions.

## EXAMPLES

List all available GRASS data base files:

      g.mlist type=all

List all raster and vector maps:

      g.mlist type=rast,vect

### Wildcards:

List all vector maps starting with letter "r":

      g.mlist type=vect pattern="r*"

List certain raster maps with one variable character/number:

      g.mlist type=rast pattern="N45E00?.meters"

Use of exclude parameter:

    # without exclude:
    g.mlist rast pat="r*" mapset=PERMANENT
    railroads
    roads
    rstrct.areas
    rushmore

    # exclude only complete word(s):
    g.mlist rast pat="r*" exclude=roads mapset=PERMANENT
    railroads
    rstrct.areas
    rushmore

    # exclude with wildcard:
    g.mlist rast pat="r*" exclude="*roads*" mapset=PERMANENT
    rstrct.areas
    rushmore

### Regular expressions:

Print out all soils map with "soils" in their name:

    g.mlist -r type=rast pattern='^soils'

Print out "tmp" if "tmp" raster map exists:

      g.mlist -r pattern='^tmp$'

Print out "tmp0" ..."tmp9" if corresponding vector map exists (each map name linewise):

      g.mlist -r type=vect pattern='^tmp[0-9]$'

Print out "tmp0" ..."tmp9" if corresponding vector map exists (each map name comma separated):

      g.mlist -r type=vect separator=, pattern='^tmp[0-9]$'

This may be useful for other programs' parameter input (e.g. r.series).
