how to view all files in linux using grep?

Question

I'm trying to view the files in the linux (xubuntu) terminal (like this command: ls ).
Is there a way to do it with the command grep ? Thanks for helpers.

Answer 1

You can use recursive ( -r ) and only filename ( -l )

grep -r . -l

You can set a directory action ( -d skip ) to only grep files in a directory

grep -r . -d skip -l *
