How to list the files?

[N Gopal]

Hi,

I have one dir which contains all txt files.

In one script i am using statement to list the files.
dir name is say dir.

ls $dir_path > /abc/def/listfile

it will list all files names in listfile.

Now this dir contains xml files as well. I want to list only txt file. I updated code like..

ls $dir_path/*.txt > /abc/def/listfile

It is listing the files in listfile along with full path. But in previous case only file names are coming. I want only name.

Can any please help me what needs to be changed?

Thanks

(cd $dir_path ; ls *.txt) >abc/def/listfile
or
find $dir_path -name \*.txt -exec basename {} \; >abc/def/listfile

You can use fgrep to select them:
ls $dir_path | fgrep .txt > /abc/def/listfile

Hi,

try

#ls $dir_path/*.txt |sed -e "s/$dir_path/ /"|cut -c 3-

Gives out only txt file names.

How about

ls /path/to/files/*txt | rev | cut -d/ -f1 | rev

Many thanks to all,

Out of all Dennis's reply is most useful in my case.

Thanks for your concerns

Oops, if you don't want to find foo.txtxxx you need to anchor it:
ls $dir_path | grep '\.txt$' > listfile
