    Angry [SOLVED] cut from ls -l

    Inside /proc/ folder, this
    Code:
    ls -l | cut -d' ' -f35 | grep ^1$  #35th field is folder names
    finds folder "1" (init).

    Is there a better way to find folder names (rather than "cut" 35th (!) field)?
    Code:
    cut -d' ' -f35

    I think that all the folders in /proc/ have the permissions :

    Code:
     dr-xr-xr-x
    so you can get the folder names by :

    Code:
    ls -l /proc/ | grep -e "dr-xr-xr-x" | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d' ' -f2

    What about find /proc -type d -maxdepth 1?
