Command to list only files omit directories.

Hi All I am writting a script that does a comparison between files in 2 diffectent directories.
To do this I need a command that will list out only the files in a give directory and omit any sub dorectories with that directory. But I am unable to find it.

Please Help.

I tried

ls "$directory1\*" | grep -v "^d" but that doesnt seem to be working. Please help.
