ls files not directorys

Hi,
Just looked at the man page for ls and counldnt seem to find what I was looking for... I want a way to do an ls and ONLY shows files and not directories.. Theres an option -F which puts a / at the end of the directory names, maybe theres a way to filter out the directory names using this option and something like grep...

However the option -F puts a * at the back of some of my filters so I reckon I need some this like....

we are doing like this but there must be a simpler way right?

ls -F | grep -v "/" | sed "s/\([^*]*\)\*/\1/g"

Thanks in advance...

Anthony

find . -type f -ls any use?
it will traverse lower directories tho

if you DO not want a recursive 'ls', i whoud say



else follow NickPickering suggestion.
