electrum wallet listaddress without change addresses

Question

i use the command

electrum listaddresses -w .electrum/testnet/wallets....

On a bash console to get all addresses of the wallet. This however also return the "change" addresses which i cannot actually use on my project. Is there anyway to filter those addresses on bash or i need to open the wallet file and read it?

Answer 1

There's command specific help with electrum help <commandname>. If you run that for listaddresses you will see that the --receiving switch does what you want. So electrum listaddresses --receiving.
