Sometimes the | default is the long format -- that depends on your shell or your ls command. | But actually I usually use the following to print a nice concise list of | names: | | ls -CFb | | This has the following effect: | | -C (note capital C) outputs the file names in columns with names sorted down | each column rather than across the rows. | | -F (note capital F) I believe prints a suffix character after each name | indicating what kind of file it is. No suffix means a regular file; @ means | a symbolic link; * means it is executable; / means it is a directory -- and | there may be more. | | -b (note lowercase b) prints all non printable characters in the name -- in | case there are any. I can't remember exactly how this worked. | | Anyway, these are the switches I always used and found to be very useful in | that they compact a lot of info into a relatively small space. | | HTH! | --le | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "EPYD Productions" | To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." | Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 4:38 AM | Subject: info on ls | | | hi if this question is off topic or if i may get flamed for asking it, maybe | some one could give me the newbie blinux list info? i am wondering what | switch to use or the equivilent to make ls just read the file names, and not | the other info when doing the ls command? for example when i ftp, its just | too much info to liten to when trying to see what files are in a dir. | thanks. | Blind Tech | website: http://www.users.qwest.net/~drjann/epyd/ | contact info can be found on website | email list: EPYD Radio-subscribe@yahoogroups.com | EPYD the only place to be! | | _______________________________________________ | Speakup mailing list | Speakup@braille.uwo.ca | http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup | | | _______________________________________________ | Speakup mailing list | Speakup@braille.uwo.ca | http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup |
