a slightly better (but harder to type) pattern would be .[^.]* -- forces the second character to be anything except for dot

well as far as i understand .??* would search for files starting with a . and at least two characters in the name. You could use .* as well to list all hidden files. But that's not the point. I was looking to show/hide files in the finder without switching to terminal each time. You would know this if you have tried poor/free ubuntu :)

But if you can give me a link plainly explaining arguments for unix commands that would be sweet) | |
