How to list only files (not path) in directory with .pl extension

[starlight849]

Hi, I'm trying to list files in a different directory based on a specific criteria.
The directory is in Dir1 and I'm in HOME.
I would like to only list files that end in .pl

However, I do not want to include the file path in the result.

In short, I want to ls Dir1 but only list file names that end in .pl.


Any suggestions?

Move into the directory first, then list

cd Dir1; ls *.pl

You can automatically move back to the previous directory with the following line of commands:

PWD_old=`pwd`; cd Dir1; ls *.pl; cd $PWD_old
