How to list files on directory shell script

Question

I need to list the files on Directory. But only true files, not the folders. Just couldn't find a way to test if the file is a folder or a directory....

Could some one provide a pice o script for that?

Thanks

Answer 1

How about using find ?

To find regular files in the current directory and output a sorted list:

$ find -maxdepth 1 -type f | sort

To find anything that is not a directory (Note: there are more things than just regular files and directories in Unix-like systems):

$ find -maxdepth 1 ! -type d | sort

Answer 2

在bash shell中， test -f $file会告诉你$ file是否是一个文件：

if test -f $file; then echo "File"; fi

You can use ls -l | grep ^d -v ls -l | grep ^d -v to realize what you want. I tested it in Redhat 9.0, it lists only the true files, including the Hidden Files.

If u want to get a list the folders on Directory. But only folders, not the true files. You can use ls -l | grep ^d ls -l | grep ^d
