Re: ls lacking a feature?

Well,

ls -l | grep ^d | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f9

seems to do the trick for me, but this is a very cheap hack, and is dependent on what fields ls decides to print. I am definitely not convinced this is the best method, but unfortunately this is the simplest one I know that works.

I use:

ls -al | grep ^d

but there's probably an easier way. :-)
