Question Listing files with full path

Hi,

I need to store all the files in a directory to a text file with its full path.
The example below can explain:

./File1.txt
./File2.txt
./Folder1/File11.txt
./Folder1/File12.txt
./Folder1/Folder11/File111.txt
./Folder2/file21.txt
:
:

The ls -R1 command won't give the result as I desired. Please help.

Regards,
Sethu.

Dear vgersh99,

Thanks a lot. It is working fine.

Is it possible to get the files ordered by Last modified date in the same pattern?

Thanks again for all.

Regards,
Sethu.

If you can use
Code:
ls -ltR yourpathandpipes

instead of `find` that might make you happy. You can then awk print the filename and append the sed pwd. Or run from another location onto the catalogue where files are placed, then ls should return fullpath.

Do you need hardcode examples ?

Hi Guys,
I did something good today:

My situation:
-----------

I had 2 servers say server A and server B. Server A had got millions of files and directories. I had to keep the same ownership and group ownership in server B as in Server A. For this I did below:

1. Get to know the file ownerships in server A and put it in a file

find . -type f | sed "s#^.#$(pwd)#" | xargs ls -l | tr -s " " " " | cut -f3,4,9 -d\ > perm.conf

find . -type d | sed "s#^.#$(pwd)#" | xargs ls -ld | tr -s " " " " | cut -f3,4,9 -d\ >> perm.conf

2. copy the perm.conf on the server B under the same hierachy as in server A.

3. Then I wrote a script:

#!/bin/sh

k=`wc -l perm.conf | cut -f1 -d\ `
i=1
RECORD=""
OWNER=""
GROUP=""
FILE=""
while [ $k -ne $i ]
do
RECORD=`head -$i perm.conf | tail -1`
OWNER=`echo $RECORD | cut -f1 -d\ `
GROUP=`echo $RECORD | cut -f2 -d\ `
FILE=`echo $RECORD | cut -f3 -d\ `
chown $OWNER:$GROUP $FILE 2>> logfile
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

and I was done...

Hope this help someone...

Thanks and regards,
Pravin Goyal
