Yes, you can.

For multiple files without a pattern

You can use the following syntax to run your specs for multiple files:

rspec path/to/first/file path/to/second/file

Multiple files with pattern

If you wish to run spec from some specific folders then you might use

rspec --pattern=./spec/features/**/*_spec.rb

If you want to exclude some files

rspec --pattern=./spec/features/**/*_spec.rb --exclude-pattern="./spec/features/{folder1,folder2}/**/*_spec.rb"

see this for more info https://relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-core/v/3-8/docs/command-line/pattern-option

Multiple files starting with some char or phrase

rspec --pattern="./spec/features/[t]*_spec.rb"

Here, it will run all specs with filename starting with t.

rspec --pattern="./spec/features/[tran|u]*_spec.rb"

Here, it will run all specs with filename starting with tran or u.

For running the failing tests only

You can use the rspec --only-failures option which will only load and run spec files with failures.
