Subject: wildcards to list a group of files in sequential numerical order ?

I'd like to list all the files with names between DSC_6035.NEF  and
DSC_6072.NEF.

How do I do this ?

I tried using DSC_[6035-6072].NEF, but that doesn't work. It lists
files outside the desired range.   The [  ]  operator needs just 1
character parameter to work properly ????

Not sure that shell globbing will work here... but you could do something like this in bash:

start=6035
end=6072

list_files()
{
   n=$1
   while [ $n -le $2 ]; do
     f=DSC_${n}.NEF
     [ -f ${f} ] && echo $f
     n=$(($n + 1))
  done
}

ls `list_files $start $end`
