Hi All,

If I want to copy a,b,d,e,f files from /tmp location but I don't want to copy c files.

How can I achieve this ?

Just copy a,b,d,e,f - but that may not be what you mean/want.

So, are a,b,d,e,f real file names?  
And since it’s a sequence of the letters of the alphabet, does it go on to z?
