To eliminate the created filename
Hi All,

I have two files in the directory
Code:
file1.txt 
file2.txt

I gave ls -m > output.txt command and I got the output as
Code:
file1.txt, file2.txt, output.txt

But my output should be like

Code:
file1.txt, file2.txt

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jotne,

Thanks for your input. But the code creates the filenames with a space accompanied to it, like

Code:
file1.txt, file2.txt, file3.txt

but my output should be like

Code:
file1.txt,file2.txt,file3.txt

Please throw some light on thiz. Thanks in advance.

Hey,

Try this,

Code:
echo $(ls -m|sed 's/ //g') >output.txt

Cheers,

Pls be careful - filenames containing spaces will be distorted. Rather do
Code:
echo $(ls -m|sed 's/, /,/g')

@dubuku_01
In your post #1, you did have space between the filename Smilie
Thanks to RudiC for a good solution..
