Shell script to display list of files in the current directory

Shell script to display list of files in the current directory.

#!/bin/bash

echo "List of files in the current directory: "

for file in *; do
    echo $file
done

This script starts by printing a message indicating that it will list the files in the current directory. It then uses a for loop to iterate over all the files in the current directory (* is a wildcard that matches all filenames). For each file, it simply prints the filename.

You can save this script to a file, e.g. list_files.sh, make it executable using chmod +x list_files.sh, and run it with ./list_files.sh to see the list of files.

NOTE: ‘ls’ command in Linux lists all the files and directories.
