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.

I have a file named(multi_extension123.txt). Before copying this file into the directory I need to remove files like
[multi_extension1234.txt
multi_extension1234.txt
multi_extension12345.txt] if present in the directory and then copy the earlier one to this directory. Can anyone give the solution with shellscript.
note: i need to remove only numerical numbers and extension alone.
I have tried this
$ filename= $file1
$ echo "${filename%[0-9].*}"
find . -type f maxdepth 0 mindepth 0 -name "'$filename'[0-9]*.txt" -exec rm -f {} \;

How do I set a variable to the output of a command in Bash?

I am trying to learn scripting in Ubuntu.
I need to backup files created by a specific user in a folder where other users store there files. It needs to be compressed into a tar file with the file tree intact.
Edit: How do I find those files created by a user and then compressing them into a tar file with all the direcories and subdirectories
FILENAME=user_archive.tar
DESDIR=/home/user
FILES=find /shared -type d -user user * tar -rvf $DESDIR/$FILENAME
tar -jcvf $DESDIR/$FILENAME
As suggested by #Cyrus and using shellcheck, you keep the following error
To assign the output of a command, use var=$(cmd)
Then you get some errors to correct and here a working script
FILENAME=user_archive.tar
DESDIR=/home/user
FILES=$(find /shared -type d -user user)
tar -jcvf $DESDIR/$FILENAME $FILES

Any ideas? Thanks!
If anyone else needs it:
find DIR_A -maxdepth 1 -type f -mmin +10 -exec mv "{}" DIR_B/ \
