since you know that your *.ksh files are not directories, you can shorten it further ...
Code:
cd /dir
ls *.ksh

or
Code:
ls /dir/*.ksh | sed "s/\/dir\///"

Code:
for  file in *
do
        [ "$file" = "*" ] && continue # no files
        [ "$0" = "$file" ] && continue # myself
        [ -d "$file" ] && continue  # dir
        [ -f "$file" ] && echo "$file"  # regular file
        # [ ....   # other testing what you maybe need / are useful
done > result.txt

shorter version ...
Code:
for file in *
do
    [ -f $file ] && echo $file
done
