ls is the command line tool. There are, as usual, many options to use with ls. (See man ls.) When I need to do something like this, which is rare, I use ls -1 to get everything in the directory listed one item per line, and redirect it into a text file. Then I can edit the text file to remove what I don't want, or just print it. Example: $ ls -1 > list.txt -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
