echo with each parameter on its own line

  • 772

I would like an output similar to ls -1d, but I don't want to check if each file exists. I would prefer to just list the files. I could use echo, but echo only puts a space between files.

How can I put a return between the files/parameters?

ls shell-scripting echo

  2. As far as I understand from your question, you can use find

    find /opt -maxdepth 1

    For printing file names only

    find /opt -maxdepth 1 -type f

    For printing directory names only

    find /opt -maxdepth 1 -type d
