Something like this should do it:

$ rm [0-9]*


Remember you can always use echo with any globbing arguments prior to letting rm run with them.

$ echo [0-9]*
100 1,208.8 16.7 21.78 2.56 269.96 30 42.81 4.29 5.58 71.24 8 8.36


After running the rm command above:

$ ls
filter.sh  purchases.csv  README.md


rm -f files starting with a digit
I have two controls : Left Side Navigation and the right pane that changes the content on clicking of any item on left navigation. 

Here is the html (angular view):

&lt;nav class="navigation"&gt;
        &lt;ul class="list-unstyled" ng-controller="NavigationController as navigation"&gt;
            &lt;li ng-repeat="nav in navigation.tabs" class="has-submenu"&gt;
                &lt;a href="#" ng-click="navigation.changeContent(nav.name)"&gt;{{nav.name}}&lt;/a&gt;
                &lt;ul class="list-unstyled" ng-show="nav.subNav"&gt;
                    &lt;li ng-repeat="subnav in nav.subNav"&gt;&lt;a href="#" ng-click="navigation.changeContent(subnav.name)"&gt;{{subnav.name}}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                &lt;/ul&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/nav&gt;

&lt;section class="content" ng-controller="ContentSwitcher as content"&gt;
{{content.tab}}
&lt;div class="warper container-fluid" &gt;
&lt;div class="container-scroll"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;


And here is the controller

(function () {
    var app = angular.module('provisioning', []);

    app.service('contentService',function(){
       var tab = 'Dashboard';
        return {
            getTab : function(){ return tab; },
            setTab : function(value){ tab = value}
        }
    });
    app.controller('NavigationController',['contentService','$log', function(cs,log){
        this.tabs = [
            {
                name: 'Dashboard'
            },
            {
                name: 'Manage',
                subNav: [
                    {
                        name: 'Account'
                    },
                    {
                        name: 'Facility'
                    },
                    {
                        name: 'Doctors'
                    },
                    {
                        name: 'Patients'
                    },
                    {
                        name: 'Nurses'
                    },
                    {
                        name: 'Device Inventory'
                    }

                ]
            },
            {
                name: 'Health Tracker'
            },
            {
                name: 'Reports'
            },
            {
                name: 'Settings'
            },
            {
                name: 'Logout'
            }
        ];
        var template = this;
        this.changeContent = function(tab){
            cs.setTab(tab);
        }
    }]);
    app.controller('ContentSwitcher', ['contentService',function(cs){
        this.tab = cs.getTab();
    }]);
})();


Also, is it best way to achieve what I intend to do in angularjs? I created a service and shared the variable in the two different controllers. However it doesn't work. The content on right never gets updated on clicking any of the item on left menu.
