AppleScript ?
You can do this with the shell:
do shell script "cd ; find . -maxdepth 1 -name '\\.*'"
After cd you can give the posix path of the starting directory. The
dot after find (meaning the current directory) can also be replaced
with a pathname or environment variable:
do shell script "find $HOME -maxdepth 1 -name '\\.*'"
"/Users/jd/.CFUserTextEncoding
/Users/jd/.DS_Store
/Users/jd/.java
/Users/jd/.jpi_cache
/Users/jd/.lpoptions
/Users/jd/.Trash"
'-maxdepth 1' means don't go deeper. Do 'man find' in Terminal for details.
