	[[ls]] is best combined with [[grep]] if you plan on doing any filtering: '''dir .txt''' is equivalent to '''ls \| grep .txt''', and '''dir boogy.*''' is equivalent to '''ls \| grep boogy'''.

-Note that in the second example, '''ls | grep boogy''' is actually directly equivalent to '''dir *boogy*.*''', not just '''dir boogy*.*'''.  If you really want to only find instances in which "boogy" is the very beginning of the filename, you'll need to delve into using grep with [[regular expressions]].
