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

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
