How to list directories in eshell

How to list directories in eshell

[Lorenzo Isella]

Dear All,
Within bash, I can easily list the directories only within the current
directory by issuing for instance

$ ls -d */

However, the same command does not work in eshell (it returns both the
directories and the files).
So, what is the equivalent eshell command?
Cheers

Lorenzo

This is a malfunction in bash. 'ls -d' tells ls to list everything as  
a directory. In tcsh your command works correctly, i.e., it lists all  
visible entries as if they were directories.

Seems odd for it to be a bash problem if it works fine under bash as the
OP indicates. 

Note that in emacs 23, eshell and ls -d * works as expected i.e. only
gives directory names and not contents - the same as it does when run
under bash. 

I'm running 

GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.11) of 2008-10-11 on lion
GNU bash, version 3.2.39(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
ls (GNU coreutils) 6.10
Linux lion 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP Wed Oct 1 12:03:14 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

What version of emacs and bash and what platform is the OP on?

Hello,
I am running Debian testing on my box and emacs 22. I solved the problem 
defining the alias:

alias lsd ls -la $* | grep "^d"

Cheers
