Locate patterns

Question

I am trying to locate all files on a linux server that fit this profile:

sfvhebviweuiber9.html
sfvhebviweuiber11.html
jdjhwn2jjsfy2q10.html

Where the first 10-15 characters are a-z, followed by [1-15], then .html.

How can I use locate (or any other method) to find all files that fit this profile?

The differences are basically the first 10-15 characters as they are made up of random alphabet characters.

Answer 1

I don't quite get the "[1-15]" part of your description, but I think this would do. You can refine the .* part in the regex

locate -r '[a-z]\{10,15\}.*html'
