I'm trying to check with Disk Usage tool how big are my home directory folders but it also prints out folders and files starting with dot.
I can't seem to filter them out.
du -h --exclude="?"
du -h | grep -v "?"
du -h | grep -ve "?"
du -h | sed "?"
Thanks in advance.
edit> Thank you SiegeX for you answer.
du -h --max-depth=1 | grep -v "./\\."
Since dot matches any character we have to prefix it with double backslash since its also a special character.
If running du
with no specified path (current dir), use this:
du -h --exclude "./.*"
