********Updated***************
Thank you for the replys. It works!! However, I am trying to do that for all the folders I have, meaning /home/documents/downloads/file1.dat and so on. So is there a way for me to write on script that only prints out the file name(file1.dat) for all the folders I have?

Thank you
