Hi
I had a basic question on Unix.
I know in DOS, one could use dir /ad to list only directories in a given path.

I wanted to know what is the equivalent command in UNIX for the same.

Try:

find . -type d

find . -type d
works fine

but

ls -d ./ * show even the files

I don't know if there is a command option to do it , but you can do

ls -l | grep ^d

HTH

Hi Satya
That command really did the job.

I have the command in one of the postits, before I get handy.

Thanx and Regards
