I am trying to write a script which starts from top directory and tracks all the folders and sub-folders till it reaches a file and gives the list of files as output for a given subfolder/folder/directory.

consider I have a directory "DIR" with in that there are 8 floders (Folder1.......Folder8) with in each folder there may have sub-folders or files.So I am expecting the script to start from the top level
go through each subfolder and manipulate the files

File Identification:Will have string "file (xyz,xyz)"



Can any body help me out with this.
