UNIX equivalent command

Alex Rauket — Thu, 15 Dec 2005 15:05:28 GMT

Is there a UNIX command that will list a directory's contents in a single column, but not list directories, much like the dos

dir /A-D /B

command?

Thanks

How about-
find . ! -type d -print

or

ls -p | grep -v "/$"

HTH

Well, of course "ls -1" (that's a numeral 'one' after the dash) gives you a single column output, but it includes directories.

I reckon you could try something like
ls -l | grep -v ^d | awk '{print $9}'

That would exclude directories but still include things other than regular files like char and block devices, sockets, links, etc.

Merry Christmas,

Not an option on ls that will. Can do something like this for the same result though:

ls -al | grep -v ^d | awk '{if ($9 != "") print $9}'
