"ls -d *" (without the quotes) might be a little more like what you had in mind, it requires an operator to match. the "*" is a "wildcard" showing all the files matching any letter or number. ls -d e* would get you any directory name with an e and then some other letters. ls -d e would only get you the directory named e
