[ale] ls

[Claypool, Joe]

The -F flag for ls appends special characters for certain file types

       -F, --classify, --indicator-style=classify
              Append a character to each filename indicating the file type.  For regular files that are executable, append a `*'.  The file type
              indicators are `/' for directories, `@' for symbolic links, `|' for FIFOs, `=' for sockets, and nothing for regular files.

So to filter the the directories (/) you could do something like this (the "\" is an escape character)...

       ls -F | grep -v \/

..and to show only regular files that are not executable you could do the following...

       ls -F | egrep -v '\/|\*|\|\@|\||\='

Do you mean so that only regular files are listed or the contents of
directories are not listed, only the directory name?

in the case of the later: ls -d
 
for the first, I don't think so.  You would have to write a script to filter
out the directories.
