This ruby script filters out files and directories from the ls command and lists them. It is a small extension of the ls command. Read the README for more

ls tool with some filtering capabilities

A small script I made so that i can list out just the directories or files in a certain directory.

• use ruby lsImproved.rb --help to get info about all the flags
• ruby lsImproved.rb would be the same as doing ls on the present working directory
• -a or -l or -la flags can also be used in the same way as ls
• -d 'Directory' can be used to ls on the desired directory
• -t accepts three values
  
  • -t files used for listing out all files
  • -t dirs used for listing out the directories in specified path
  • -t all does the same thing as ls. Lists all
  • The default behaviour is ls like.
• If you dont provide the -d or -t flag the program resorts to default behaviour i.e ls on the present working directory

Example

ruby lsImproved -la -t files -d '~/Downloads' lists all the files in Downloads directory including all the hidden ones and in listed format

Suggestion

I would suggest using alias like such as alias lsf='ruby path/to/lsImproved.rb -t files so that it would be more convenient
