Hi!
Once I learned all Linux basic commands and read the man page for "ls", I'm still wondering how can I list ONLY directories (hidden and not) within the ls default output form (columns).
If I want to see only the directories of a path, I use the following:
but I don't want directories listed (flag -l) in just one column, I want 'em distributed in moltiple columns without file permissions, owner, groups, etc...
How can I do this?
I realised there's no way for ls to simply show just directories and nothing else.
Could you give me an help, please?
Thanks a lot guys!

Here's something you can play with. It won't get the directories in columns though (unless you turn it into a script and do some magic).

find -maxdepth 1 -type d | cut -d / -f 2 | grep -v "^\." | sort

The cut command simply prunes the ./ at the beginning of every directory find returns

The grep command filters out the hidden directories

The sort command, well, sorts them alphabetically

Here are a couple of options to play around with.
find . -type d -maxdepth 1
ls -a | grep /
ls -d */ gives unhidden directories but ls -da */ doesn't work as I expected.
good luck

Solved!

ls -d .*"/" *"/"

Bye!
