Ok, here's a real stupid question:
How do I tell the "ls" command to output my data in 2 columns?
This is what I've already learned that will not work:
ls --width=45 (this works but is not reliable since the output size can change)
ls -1 (this outputs in single column format, ls -2 doesn't work (why!))
ls -x (this is ls across and I don't understand what it's useful for)
Someone please help me, I've spent over an hour and a half trying to get this to work! I know this is silly, but I need this to work and am willing to hear of suggestions.
