ls command not recognized

[shawn peter]

I am reading a Pro Android 3 book.In that book page 94(Content provide chapter) i ask to type command line below command to see the list of databases.
ls -l

this is for not linux.It is for windows Os.but when i type it gives me below error.

'list' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Two pages earlier the book says to run the adb shell, thus this command is to be entered into that shell. It looks like you entered the command into a command prompt window.

By the way, I moved you question here from General Computing because the question is Android related.
