With zsh:

for all type of files:


Code:
print -l .*

for regular files only:


Code:
print -l *(.D)


P.S. . and .. are not matched per default.

Are you sure it does not work ? That command worked just fine for me. Try this


Code:
ls -a | grep -e "^\."

See man grep for other flags. -e allows you to mention a pattern.

Much easier:


Code:
ls -ad .*

Or I prefer:


Code:
ls -lad .*
