Ignore Files
-
You have to either enclose the pattern in quotes or escape the wildcard in patterns.
-
Equivalent commands to ignore JSON files.
ls --ignore=*.json ls -I*.json ls -I \*.json ls -I '*.json' # quote needed due to the space! find . ! -iname '*.json'
-
Ignore multiple patterns.
ls -I '*.txt' -I '*.pdf' find . ! -iname '*.json' ! -iname '*.pdf' find . -type f -name "*.txt" ! -path "./Movies/*" ! -path "./Downloads/*" ! -path "./Music/*"
-
Ignore backup files (whose names end with
~
).ls -B
Or you can use
ls --ignore=*~
List Contents of a Directory with the Directory Name Prefixed
When you list the contents of a directory (e.g., raw
) using the following command.
ls raw
the directory name raw
is not prefixed to the returned/printed contents.
You can of course concatenate the directory name raw
to each of its subdirectory/subfile manually,
however,
a more convenient way is to use the the following command.
ls raw/*
List Only Subdirectories
You can use the following command to list directories only in the current directory.
ls -d ./*
List Hidden Files and Directories
ls -d .*
