When I list files in the command line with "ls -l", I get all the xattr lines also and this clutters the output, making it hard to find the files I want. How can I list a directory without printing the xattr lines?
Here's an example of what I get when I type "ls -l"
drwxrwxr-x@ 461 root admin - 15K Aug 31 19:54 bin/
com.apple.metadata:_kTimeMachineNewestSnapshot 50B
com.apple.metadata:_kTimeMachineOldestSnapshot 50B
drwxr-xr-x@ 13 walter admin - 442B Jul 18 08:56 etc/
com.apple.metadata:_kTimeMachineNewestSnapshot 50B
com.apple.metadata:_kTimeMachineOldestSnapshot 50B
Edit:
I figured it out. See answer below.

The
~/.bashrc
file had an alias that made that the default. I removed the alias and the extra lines were gone.The line in my
.bashrc
file read:alias ls='ls -FGhO@
.Remove the "@" and problem is solved.
