list directory names

[kasparov]

I want to list the directory names in my directory. There must be a better way than these:

ls -l | grep ^d | awk '{ print $9 }'

or

ls -F | grep / | sed 's/\///'

Is there?

Thanks, Chris

You can simply say find ~ or find . if you are already in the directory...

This will list all files in the given directory. I don't know, however, which method is more efficient...

I tried find but the output still needs editing, eg:

find . -type d -print

gives me the directory '.' and puts './' at the beginning of each line.

Not to worry - I think ls -F | sed 's/\///' is probably the best.

Thanks anyway, Chris

find * -type d -print -prune

Thanks dcoulette - goes to show I should RTFM after all.

If you just want to 'see' the directories from an input shell prompt:

ls -d */.

will give you the name of all directories but with '/.' appended.
I use it because it is faster to enter at a prompt than the other versions given above.
