selective delete of lines in a file

[alan147]

Good morning

I need to be able to extract from a directory list (ls -al) firstly all the non directory files and secondly all the directories. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Alan

# gets all dirs
ls -al | awk '/^d/'

# gets all files
ls -al | awk '/^-/'
