How to list only files and not directories of a directory Bash?

Question

How can I list all the files of one folder but not their folders or subfiles. In other words: How can I list only the files?

Answer 1

Using find:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f 

Using the -maxdepth 1 option ensures that you only look in the current directory (or, if you replace the . with some path, that directory). If you want a full recursive listing of all files in that and subdirectories, just remove that option.

Answer 2

ls -p | grep -v / 

ls -p lets you show / after the folder name, which acts as a tag for you to remove.
