Hello,

How can I list all hidden files or directories with ls?



Thanks,

Chris

ls .* does not give the desired result. Id like to archive all the hidden files in my home folder.

Chris,





ls .[!.]*

Cheers,

I've been through the list of posts responding to your question and saw that you did find one that worked. What I didn't see was a pure wildcard solution, so here's my contribution to answering the question of how many sysadmins does it take.... PS. I'm not currently a sysadmin, though I do manage my own Linux systems ;)
