This should work on smaller structures with gnu find Smilie ( just for the sake of it Smilie )
Code:
DIR=$1
cd $DIR
EXCLD=$(find . -type d ! -perm -o=x -printf "%p/.*|")
#if [[ $(echo $EXCLD | wc -c) -lt $(getconf ARG_MAX) ]]; then
        find . -type f -regextype posix-egrep ! -regex "$EXCLD" # if the parent doesnt have x on last bit we exclude whole structure behind it
#else
#        echo "We have passed system limit $(getconf ARG_MAX)"
#fi

with some coding i get almost the perfect solution, thanks mate Smilie

i have only one more question, how could i cut every rows tail

cause the stdout will looks like this:
Code:
./directory/file.ext
./file.ext

instead of this:
Code:
directory/file.ext
file.ext

i tried with TAIL -c +3, but that command will only cut the first rows characters instead of every row
