[TriLUG] Slightly off topic

[Dewey Hylton]

grep and cut could have been used too, and probably a few other combinations as well. the "trick" here is simply filtering based on the first field in the 'ls -l' output, where the first character describes the file/directory/whatever type. the '-' describes a plain file. the filter could have been simplified to '/^-/' as well. i suppose there may be situations where the root user has no read access to the file, and the file would then not make the list given the longer filter ...
