List all csv file in current directory

I need to list all csv file in a directory and I have to goole how to do it every time I need it. So I’ll write a post to remind myself.

find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*.csv"

Since I only want to list file in current directory not any sub directory. I have to use the maxdepth flag, as find is recursive by default. But there is one small issue with this, that is a “./” will be in the output. If I want to send the output to another program the “./” might cause issues.

Sample output with leading “./”

./dirty2.csv
./clear.csv
./dirty.csv

find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*.csv" | sed "s/^\.\///"

We can use sed to remove the “.\” in front of those csv files. We have to escape the “.” and the “/”.

Sample output without leading “./”

dirty2.csv
clear.csv
dirty.csv
