Seems so simple, but not getting the syntax right. I want to know if a file exists in my s3 bucket using wildcards. Something like
aws s3 ls s3://my-bucket/folder/*myfile*
The goal is to see if a file called 2016_myfile.txt or a file called 2011_myfile.csv exists within this bucket.
If I run the command, it doesn't return anything even though I know this file exists there.
(re-drafted from comment as it appears this answered the question)
I myself tried, and failed to use wildcards in the aws-cli, and according to the docs, this is not currently supported. Simplest (though least efficient) solution would be to use grep:
aws s3 ls s3://my-bucket/folder/ | grep myfile
Alternatively, you could write a short python/other script to do this more efficiently (but not in a single command)
