SunOS 5.10 - ignore certain files in ls

Question

I don't know why but I can't execute ls with ignore flag:

-bash-3.2$ ls -I '*.log'
ls: illegal option -- I

Do you know what else can I try?

Answer 1

-I is a flag specific to GNU ls that's not found in other versions of ls.

Options include:

• Install the GNU fileutils package and run the ls command from it.
• Combine other tools to get similar results, such as ls | grep -v '\.log$'
• Use shell globbing patterns to get close, such as ls *.[^g] to list all files that don't end with the letter g.
