I want to get a list of all the files in a directory, like with ls, so that each filename will be on a seperate line, without the extra details supplied by ls -l. I looked at ls --help and didn't find a solution. I tried doing

ls -l | cut --fields=9 -d" "

but ls doesn't use a fixed number of spaces between columns. Any idea on how to do this, preferably in one line?

ls -1

That is a number, not small L.
