I need to provide a detailed list of files in a directory in descending order of the file size. only to include 10 files in my output. I can not include sub directories in my output. I am having the problem with the last part, "not including sub directories" here is what I have so far but im stuck on excluding sub directories. Also if you could look at the below command to advise if this is correct
de@Classbox:~/LI_1/etc$ ls -lh -S | sort -r |head -10
I know if i use grep -v d it will exclude directories but i need it to exclude sub directories.

Yourlscommand is not recursing subdirectories; if this is part of a class to learnlsandgrep, perhaps they're looking forls ... | grep -v ^d? You'll likely get different answers here, so it'd be best to clearly explain where you're coming from and what you're expecting.

Don't expect meaningful results if you sort by "human readable" file sizes. Try
ls -l| sort -k1,1.1 -k5nr | head -n 10
If there are less than 10 regular files, you need additional measures.
