GREP only xyz.log not xyz.log1

Question

I have a listing of files that have numeric characters at the end after a dot.

ex :

abc.log
abc.log.1
xyz.log
xyz.log.1
xyz.log.2

I need to list only the logs that have .log at the ending and not the ones with .log.1 or .log.2 at the ending.

"I need to list only the logs..." "GREP only xyz.log not xyz.log1" Are you asking how to grep them or how to list them? # grep searchterm *.log or # ls *.log would do this? Or are you asking something else that I'm not understanding? — Kefka, May 17 '19 at 12:39
I think it's a listing in a file, otherwise the Q doesn't make sense ... — pLumo, May 17 '19 at 12:48
@pLumo oh yeah, I think you're right. I read his question as asking how to perform a simple grep or ls in a log directory. Yours makes more sense. — Kefka, May 17 '19 at 12:54

Use $ for end of line :

grep '\.log$'
