Seems like a very reasonable request and its a shame that ls does not
provide such an option (which I guess would be an extension to the -A
option)
I remember asking about this four or five years ago when I first started
using Linux (RedHat). (It was the first question I asked on the users
mailing list.)
Now that I am familiar with 'find' and 'grep' etc. I no longer worry
about it. However, 'ls' is probably the first commandline command a
beginner learns. It seems illogical, that 'ls' wouldn't have a flag
that just shows files when it has a flag for directories. It can cost
newbies hours looking for a solution that isn't there.
Couldn't the shell maintainers just add an appropriate flag to show
files only?
It would probably be easier to hack the ls source and extend the -A
functionality.
