Ever ran into a situation where you want to tar files starting with characters say from d to k? Here is how to do it.

tar -cf tarfilename.tar [d-K]*

This will create a tar file named tarfilename.tar and will include files whose names are starting with any character from d to k.

Did you Notice the small d and capital K? if you put small k files starting with capital K will be left out so make sure that you put capital letter for the bigger one.
