What happens if you use find to list files?

find . -name '*.rb' | entr ruby test.rb

Eric, thank you very much! It's works! I’m beginner in programmers. Sorry for this elementary question. Good luck and thanks for your app.

Your welcome! But let's reopen this because we still haven't figured out what's wrong with ls(1)! Please paste the output of these two commands:

env
ls -G | sort

Is this what you needed?

Answer 5 · 2023-07-11T13:33:06.000Z

What's puzzling is that there are special characters before each file name.

This formatting does not appear to be native to ls
By convention Unix utilities turn off all formatting if STDOUT is not a TTY (a pipe to sort for example)

What is the output of which ls?

Do you get a different result if you run /bin/ls?

Answer 6 · 2023-07-11T17:59:46.000Z

Eric, I found a error. I use aliases for the l and ls commands in my zshrc. I use these tool the.exa.website.
Examples my zshrc:

alias l="exa --tree --level=1 --group-directories-first --all --icons --long --color auto"
alias ls="exa --all --group-directories-first --icons --grid --color auto"

I remove this aliases and it works fine.

Glad we found it!

It seems like a bug in exa: extra formatting should not be printed when not connected to a terminal, but perhaps there is a reason they do that. Closing
