Thanks, I already saw those but initially they did not work for
directories. That was because I had

dirs=[^.]*/

that would expand, e.g:

foo/
bar/

and the trailing slash caused -L test to fail. So, finally, I have what
I wanted without any external commands like this:

dirs=[^.]*/
for d in ${dirs}
do
  if [[ -d ${d//\//} && ! -L ${d//\//} ]]
  then
    echo processing dir $d
  fi
done
# ...
files=[^.]*
for f in ${files}
do
  if [[ -f ${f//\//} && ! -L ${f//\//} ]]
  then
    echo processing files $f
  fi
done

Thanks!
