List Directories only 1

Hi,

I used to use this

ls -l | grep ^d

to list directories but am now receiving this error

$ ls -l | grep ^d
d: not found
$ Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .


what is another way to list only directories ?


tia,

 

[mrregan]

how about
find . -type d -print

 

[jad]

you could try doing ^d in '' quotes.

 

[darfader]

yes, they both work,


thanks

Beware than mrregan solution will find all directories AND subdirectories, thus is not equivalent to jad solution.

You could also try:

ls -ld */.

which is faster to type (for command line usage) and faster to run (for script usage).
