The closest I could come up with was using ls -Ap -I "pattern" That caused directories to have / at the end of them. So I figured I could use -I to ignore any filename ending with /. However after a few unsuccessfull variations I realized that the / is only displayed at the end of directories therefore not part of the name. Which means you cannot use a pattern to eliminate names ending in / (because the name doesn't end with /, rather / is simply displayed after a directory name). Piping to grep would do it of course. The find command with maxdepth and for type f is your best bet in my opinion. If you come up with a way to do it from within ls I'd be interested in it. Now lsattr comes close as well in that it lists files, but also symbolic links to a directory. But that produces the attributes along with the file names. Like John, I can see no way on how to do it with ls alone from within bash. Clearly John has a solution for you using another shell so you could call upon that shell interpreter. But I don't see zsh on my default FC6 install. Jacques B. Jacques B.
