Listing files in directory in one column

rated 0 times [ 27] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 30025 / 1 Year ago, mon, december 12, 2022, 10:53:05

Is there a command to print the files in a directory in a single column without this additional info? Basically an ls command but with the output format of:

file1.txt

file2.txt

file3.txt

as opposed to :

file1.txt file2.txt 

file3.txt

You need the ls command -1 option.

ls -1 /dir

just to clarify. that is ls -(one) /dir; like the number.

from the man ls page:

 -1     list one file per line.  Avoid '

' with -q or -b
