Question

I'd like to know the command to get a list of the current directories in a directory which satisfies the following conditions:

(I intend to iterate over this list in a bash script)

use a glob expression: `*/` -- e.g. `for d in */; do ...` – Andrea Corbellini Oct 21 '15 at 14:59 — Andrea Corbellini, Oct 21 '15 at 14:59

You can use this for listing:

shopt -u dotglob
printf "%s\n" */

shopt -u dotglob makes sure to not to match hidden directories.

To iterate you can do:

for d in */; do
    echo "${d%/}"
done

my problem with 'd in */;' is that i get a trailing slash at the end of every name - how can i avoid this? – ndrizza Oct 21 '15 at 15:04
check updated answer. `echo "${d%/}"` will strip last `/` – anubhava Oct 21 '15 at 15:05
