Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to print only the final path of subdirectories? Post 302873303 by Scrutinizer on Monday 11th of November 2013 05:24:11 PM
Old 11-11-2013
How about a recursive bash/ksh approach (which would also include paths that contain symbolic links to directories, which are also paths):
Code:
finalp(){
  typeset dir
  for dir in "$1"/*/
  do
    if [ -d "$dir" ]; then
      finalp "${dir%/}"
    else
      printf "%s\n" "${1%/}"
    fi
  done
}

finalp /dir1
