lsfrom

lsfrom lists the files and dirs in a directory starting from the first one that matches the given filename prefix or the first filename after that if there is no match, using the current locale collation order.

$ ls
A a B C
$ lsfrom a
a
B
C
$ lsfrom a/
B
C
$ lsfrom /sy
/sys
/sysroot
/tmp
/usr
/var

This may be useful for continuing a script on the content of a directory after a failure, etc:

$ myscript.sh $(lsfrom next)

Requirements

It uses system ls order to preserve locale collation and requires ls with the -A option to exclude . and .. (eg coreutils). It has been tested on Linux.

Installation

stack install lsfrom or cabal install lsfrom.
