Hi all,

Does anyone know how to get all the file in a directory, but not in the subdirectory? I don't want to return any files that are in a subdirectory. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
Jeya

Hi Jeya,

the find you 're looking for is (assuming you are in the directory that you want to start):

find . \( -type d ! -name . -prune \)

(the ! -name . is necessary because otherwise only . is displayed!)

If you want a long output:

find . \( -type d ! -name . -prune \) -exec ls -ld {} \;

Cheers,

mrjazz
