Finding files with square brackets in filename I have a ton of files - TOSEC ROM sets - on my Mac (El Capitan) that have filenames suffixed with a tag in square brackets - for example

Manic Miner (1983)(Bug-Byte Software)[a]
Manic Miner (1983)(Software Projects)[a]


I'd like to search for these files, with the aim of moving and/or deleting them.

If I try to search for the files using Spotlight:



... no files are found.

If I try searching for them via Terminal:

ls *[a]*.*


... I get a list of all the files in the directory.

What's the best way of finding all files with [a] in the filename, and moving and/or deleting them? Is there a way to encapsulate the [ and ] so a Spotlight search will work?
In Terminal, use \ to escape any character:

ls *\[a\]*
