As you can see apart from having a text file with it it is formatting correctly.
And once again how are you filtering the files from the directiores beginning with the same name?
If you just want to see directories in a case like this, you can use:
Code:
ls -d Des*/ > /tmp/text

The output will include a trailing slash, but in many cases that won't matter. If the trailing slash is a problem, there are lots of ways to get rid of it depending on how the output is being processed.
