Why is grep not filtering input?

Question

linux

Hello!
I'm trying to list all files with permissions, but grep, instead of listing lines that match the regular expression, just highlights the first character in those lines in red. Can you please tell me how to get a list of files without "total", empty lines and directory names?
ls -ARl $HOME | grep '^[-dbscpl]*'

Answer 1

ls -ARl $HOME | grep '^[-dbscpl]'
In your expression, '*' - means "zero or more" matches from the bracket - accordingly, almost all output falls under your regular expression
