Listing directories and sub directories

Hi,
I am trying to get the following output:
-(0)
/home/<user-name>-(1)
..........a-(2)
....................codetest-(3)
..............................oracle-(4)
..............................unix-(5)
........................................dir1-(6)
....................meum-(7)
....................oracle-(8)
..............................plcourse-(9)
..............................sqlcourse-(10)
........................................exercises-(11)
..................................................chapter10-(12)
..................................................chapter11-(13)
..................................................chapter12-(14)

The example above shows that directly under the home directory, there is a single directory ‘a’ which contains ‘codetest’, ‘meum’ and ‘oracle’. Under ‘codetest’ there is ‘oracle’ and ‘unix’.
and I am using the following code:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

function subDirect ()
{
        s=$1
        found=($(ls $s))
        arraySiz=${#found[@]}
        a=0
        count=0
        while [ $a -lt $arraySiz ]
        do
                if [ $arraySiz -eq 1 ]
                then
                        echo $s
                else
                        echo $s
                        cd $s
                        subDirect ${found[a]}

                        cd ..
                fi
        let a=a+1
        done
}

i=0
BOpen="-("
BClose=")"
user=$(whoami)
echo $BOpen $i $BClose
let i=i+1
echo "/home/"$user $BOpen $i $BClose
let i=i+1
dir=$(ls ~)
subDir=($dir)
arraySize=${#subDir[@]}
x=0
while [ $x -lt $arraySize ]
do
 subDirect "${subDir[x]}"
let x=x+1
done

################

When the recursion takes place in function subDir, it doesn't restore the previous values after coming out.e.g
if it has found and displayed the dir1-(6) from the desired output, it will not regain the values of unix(5) or codetest(3)..
Can anybody help please.
Regards,
Qasim

extract_font_range

extract_font_range(3alleg4)					  Allegro manual				       extract_font_range(3alleg4)

NAME

       extract_font_range - Extracts a range of characters from a font. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end)

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  extracts  a  character range from a font and returns a new font that contains only the range of characters selected by this
       function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want to select all characters from the start or  to  the  end  of  the
       font.  Example:

	  FONT *myfont;
	  FONT *capitals;
	  FONT *fontcopy;
	  ...
	  /* Create a font of only capital letters */
	  capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z');

	  /* Create a copy of the font */
	  fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1);
	  ...
	  destroy_font(capitals);
	  destroy_font(fontcopy);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it
       to avoid memory leaks.
