Re: ls sort

hi jesper,
your reply -- and even more the question you were replying to --
made me curious. i wanted to try it out. even though your command
works i wanted to define it myself from scratch -- because it's a
good way to learn and second because i don't understand all you've
written. my beginner's try was simply "ls | grep "/"" which gives
the right result. but how do i make it print the result in columns?
