works wonderfully thanks!

now here's how it appears:

Code:
.
|--lower.sh
|--guess.sh
|--dir
|   |--one-file
|   |--one-file.2
|   |--bla
|   |--bla2
|   |   |--one-file.2
|   |   |--ba;a;a
|   |   |--three-file
|   |   |--Copy of ba;a;a
|   |   |   |--ba;a;a
|--superlower.sh
|--example.sh

how can i make it so that it appears like this:
Code:
.
|--lower.sh
|--guess.sh
|--dir
|  |--one-file
|  |--one-file.2
|  |--bla
|  |--bla2
|      |--one-file.2
|      |--ba;a;a
|      |--three-file
|      |--Copy of ba;a;a
|          |--ba;a;a
|--superlower.sh
|--example.sh
