showing only directorys from the command line

hello,

i'm trying to show directories from the command line, but i can't seem to find a command that does it. I know about ls -la and how it displays a "d" for the directories, but how to i display just directories. I tried messing with grep but wiht no luck, i believe i need some sort of regular expression and I'm not very good with regular expression so any help with be grateful.

thanks,

thanks, that helped alot, but how do i show the hidden directories that start with a dot(.)

i tried ls -d .*/ and that works but how to i show but hidden directories and regular directories?????

ls -d */ && ls -d .*/

works perfectly!

thanks
