Hi, I'm trying to create a script that will display the contents of the users directories, but i'm confused about how to incorporate the shift properly.

The problem I'm getting with my script is that it goes throught the first couple of directories but then returns an error as it loses the first directory when continuing the search to other directories (I hope that makes sense?!)
EDIT: I apologise, that was the old problem, now the problem is the path to be searched adds the wrong directories so it looks in paths that do not exist

Here's my code, any help would be greatly appreciated.

direc=~
list=$(ls -l $direc | egrep '^d' | cut -d" " -f8)
function printList() {
        for line in $*
        do
                echo $line
                list=$(ls -l $direc/$1 | egrep '^d' | cut -d" " -f8)
                direc=$direc/$1
                shift
                printList $list
 
        done
}
printList $list

                list=$(ls -l $direc/$1 | egrep '^d' | cut -d" " -f8 2>/dev/null)

                list=$(ls -l $direc/$1 | egrep '^d' | cut -d" " -f8) 2>/dev/null
