showing only directorys from the command line

djgerbavore · 07-13-2005, 07:55 PM

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,

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

Hmm good ? you could use a separator but there is probably a better way... I'll have to work on that...

ls -ld .*/ ; ls -ld */

No problem.

Again, gotta love how linux provides 100,000 ways to do anything.
