How do I get an ls -l to not show the full directory path?
Hey
I'm new to the forums here, and I'm seeking help for this script that I'm writing. When I do ls -l of a directory it shows the full pathname for files in it. For example, if the directory is /internet/post/forum/ and the file is topic, it currently shows internet/post/forum/topic. What's the correct way to get it to just say /topic when I'm ls'ing a directory to see the files within?
Thanks a lot, greatly appreciated.

Is there a command that tells you right away the current working directory? I know the command "pwd", but that one gives the full path.
