hi how I list out all the index that I have in elasticsearch? say I have index A-_, B-_, C-\* I only find the get indices command GET \_cat/indices/, but it returns the indices name like A-2017.06.06, B-2017.06.05, but I dont want the date behind... can I just get the index name A, B, C? ---

I'm kind of confused. `A-2017.06.06` and `B-2017.06.05` _are_ indices, whether they have dates affixed to them or not. ---
