Hi All

I try to list out all the files under particular directory. Some files
without extension.
How to ignore Directory by ls ?

e.g.

#!/bin/ksh
MDIR=/phx/migration
for i in $MDIR/load $MDIR/src
do
echo $i
cd $i
CURRDIR=`pwd`
echo CURRDIR=$CURRDIR
ls * *.*
done

I don't think you can do that with just ls.

/bin/ls -p | sed '/[\/=@|]/d'

That will remove everything that isn't a simple file
from the listing. Named pipes and symbolic links and
sockets and directories.

Filename extension is a WinDOS concept. This is comp.*unix*.shell.

One wonders if you ever RTFM before posting.

Can be compacted to

for i in $MDIR/{load,src}

But you really don't want to use `for' here (consider $IFS in filenames).

Here you go down the tree, but you never go up again.

find -L $MDIR/{load,src} ! -type d

is a lot better, of course (-L dereferences symlinks, so you can exclude
symlinked directories as well).

man find

If what you're saying was true, then

for i in *

will never work when filenames have $IFS in them.

ls * will list all the files that aren't hidden, you don't need *.*
To list all files including hidden files, use ls -a.
