Hello,
I have a question.
If I use
$ file .*
The output of the command is listing of all the files / directories that
begin with .
I want to have same output using grep command. So I tried
$ ls -a | grep .
This lists all the files and not the files which have . in its name.
Can someone tell me why? What is that I am doing it wrong ?
Regards,
Dhiraj
try
$ls -ld .*
also to display only hidden directories
$ls -ld .* | grep ^d
for hidden files
$ls -ld .* | grep ^-
