Does ls
have a way to show negated conditions like "all files which are not a symlink"? I use the latter a lot in a project directory but other negations would be useful as well.
For now, my research has only lead to creating an alias to something "like":
find . -maxdepth 1 ! -type l | sort # (...)
but obviously this way I don't get the colouring of ls
, the column formatting, etc…
I am on Bash v3 on OS X 10.8.2 and Bash v4 on Pangolin sometimes.
