How to list files/directories only in fishshell?

Question

In fish:

for x in *
   echo $x
end

The * here includes all directories and files, how to list files(or directories) only?

Answer 1

fish does not have lots of fancy globbing syntax. However, directories can be iterated like so:

for x in */
    echo $x
end

For files, or more sophisticated checks, you can use test:

for x in *
    if test -f $x
        echo $x
    end
end

or find:

for x in find . -type f -maxdepth 1
    echo $x
end
