A new question!!!
Hi,
a new problem was born.
the code you suggested works very good but now I'm trying to list in the text file more than one file list.
If I repeat the operation two times, calling the ls command on two different folders, the text file is overwritten and the first data are lost...
How to write in append mode on the text file?
In alternative, is it possible to specify two or more different folders in ls command?
Thanks in advance!
