Subject: Reverse Wildcarding
Evening,

I'm sure its possible, but is there a 'quick' way to reverse a wildcard?

Say I wanted a list of all the "not Jpegs" in a directory? How difficult
would crafting the following command be?

ls [Everything that is not] *.jpg

It would be awesome if I could transfer this syntax to all commands (how easy
would directory cleanup be if I could reverse an rm command?)

Ideas?
