List sub-directories with ls [closed]
(3 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I need help. How to write script displaying all subdirectories in the location. I've got something like that:
ls -al | grep ^d
but it only works in the home directory
find(1) may be a better choice here:
find . -type d
which would list all directories from the current directory and all subdirectories.

In my repository I have several files, including two specific JAR files named as follows:
backend-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
backend-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar.original
I need to get only the first one, and I need to fetch it only with its name: "backend". The version is not static; it can change.
So I have done this:
ls | grep 'backend'
But this one get me both of them, so I need to grep for files beginning with backend and ending by .jar.
How can I use this?
Don't use the output of ls for scripting. Use find instead:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'backend*.jar'
Or, without using grep:
ls backend*.jar
ls | grep '^backend.*.jar$'
$ means, that there are no symbols after r in jar.

Show full path when using options

I have a folder /home/Documents/myFolder and inside this folder there are lots other folders. I want to have a file list.txt which contains all the paths of the folders. I want the text file content like this:
/home/Documents/myFolder/1234
/home/Documents/myFolder/asd2
/home/Documents/myFolder/asdawgf
/home/Documents/myFolder/dawt
.
.
.
I tried this one but it was not what I want ls > /home/Documents/myFolde/list.txt
it just prints the folder names. I want the full paths.
Use find listing all directories (-type d) and then sed the output to get the full path correct:
find . -type d | sed -n 's:^\./:/home/Documents/myFolder/:'p > /home/Documents/myFolder/list.txt
you can use find:
find . > /home/Documents/myFolde/list.txt
