A:
If they're only in the current directory
find * -type f -print
Is that what you want?

I knew it could be done with sed, but this is a much better solution. Thanks!

This will miss files with names that start with a period.

Bad, depending on a shell settings * may not evaluate to "hidden" files/directories -- those which begins with dot (.) Try to run this command in your home dir, then just "find -type f" and see the difference.

While, overall, this is a good point, I don't think it applies to this context. If anything, it just makes it more useful. Nothing more annoying then listen your root and getting files like bashrc, htaccess and bash_history.

A more relevant concern is that '*' is evaluated by the shell. You effectively have a type of malicious code injection situation. It would be trivial to create a file named ' --exec rm ' and another named 'zzzz ;'. Goodbye files.

A:
Find only regular files under current directory, and print them without "./" prefix:
find -type f -printf '%P\n'
From man find, description of -printf format:
%P File's name with the name of the command line argument under which it was found removed.
