List only directory name

[milind]

Hello,

I want to print the name of directories only without slash. here what I am doing
1) when I use command ls -ld it show following

drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Jul 25 20:10 cpeasyapache/
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Feb 24 23:21 cprestore/

if you see all the folder which are listed comes with slash in end cpeasyapache/

Is it possible to list all the directories without having /

You could pipe it through sed

ls -ld | sed s/\/$//

Thanks elija for the command it really worked but i gave error

sed: -e expression #1, char 6: unknown option to `s'

After searching on google i used quotes after sed and it worked.

ls -l | sed "s/\/$//"

Thanks again

How strange, it worked fine without the quotes on LMDE. Maybe a different version or some kind of funky aliasing going on. Glad you got it sorted out anyway

You are using the option -F or -p with ls (probably without you knowing it). Because the plain ls -l does not append the slash at the end of directories.

Maybe there is an alias set for ls. Check by typing:

alias

See if there is somethink like:

alias ls='ls -hF --color=tty'
or
alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS'

You can temporarily get rid of the alias by typing

unalias ls

If you want the get rid of the alias permanently, you have to find out which start script contains the alias (~/.bashrc or the likes).
