Threw this together this afternoon. A bit scrappy but it'll do what you want - and that is recursion.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/tclsh

set files [glob -nocomplain *]
set depth 0
set foo 0

proc runsearch { file depth } {
   set depth [ expr $depth + 1 ]
   set pwd [pwd]
   cd $file
   set pre [ string repeat "|  " $depth ]
   set pre "$pre|-"
   set dirpre [ string repeat "|  " [ expr $depth - 1 ] ]
   set dirpre "$dirpre|-"
   puts "$dirpre$file/"
   set morefiles [glob -nocomplain *]
   foreach filename $morefiles {
     if { $filename != "" } {
       if [ file isdirectory $filename ] {
         runsearch $filename $depth
       } else {
       puts "$pre$filename"
      }
    }
  }  
  cd $pwd
  set depth [ expr $depth - 1 ]
}

foreach filename $files {
  if { $filename != "" } {
    set pre [ string repeat "|  " $depth ]
    set pre "$pre|-"
     if [ file isdirectory $filename ] {
       runsearch $filename $depth
    } else {
       puts "$pre$filename"
    }
  }
}

It should get you started.

EDIT: Playing with the code, I implemented a basic tree-type format. I quite like this script now!

Cheers

desktop_color_depth

desktop_color_depth(3alleg4)					  Allegro manual				      desktop_color_depth(3alleg4)

NAME

       desktop_color_depth - Finds out the desktop color depth. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int desktop_color_depth();

DESCRIPTION

       Finds  out  the	currently  selected desktop color depth. You can use this information to make your program use the same color depth as the
       desktop, which will likely make it run faster because the graphic driver won't be doing unnecessary color conversions behind your back.

       Under some OSes, switching to a full screen graphics mode may automatically change the desktop color depth. You have,  therefore,  to  call
       this function before setting any graphics mode in order to retrieve the real desktop color depth. Example:

	  allegro_init();
	  ...
	  if ((depth = desktop_color_depth()) != 0) {
	     set_color_depth(depth);
	  }

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the color depth or zero on platforms where this information is not available or does not apply.

SEE ALSO

       get_desktop_resolution(3alleg4), set_color_depth(3alleg4), set_gfx_mode(3alleg4)
