Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi i need some help...

1.i have one main folder XYZ.
2.Many folders inside xyz say abc,def,mno
3.And inside each folder, i have many files .


want to print what ever files are present inside the subfolder abc,def,mno (what ever todays file ) in output file.out put file should be in xyz(say x.txt).

am using the syntax:
ls -l *.txt| awk '{print $8 , $9} >x.txt

which giveing me the result for one sub folder

that syntax is working fine if i am checking it in a single folder..
but the i want a script that will run and it will check in all subfolder for todays file and give the results in a single out put file.(i mean in output file it will print the time and the file name from all sub folder)



-rwxrwxrwx 1 ADMIN None 73 Jan 13 19:36 1.txt

out put:
19:36 1.txt.

if you use ls with -R option it lists stuff in all subfolders too

thanks for the reply..

thats true but how it will recognise all the files from all folder andgive me the result...

if i am giving the below syntax from one sub folder its giving me the result from that sub folder.

ls -l *.txt| awk '{print $8 , $9} >x.txt

what i need to do is from main folder i want do somthing so that it will give me the results from all sub folder one at a time...

maybe use the find command?

Code:

find XYZ -type f -name '*.txt' | xargs ls -l | awk '{print $8 , $9}'

this will find all files .txt under directory XYZ, ls -l for each of these, and then get the 8th and 9th column that you wanted

1.main folder XYZ
2.sub folder abc , def , mno
3.under abc-1.txt,2.txt
under def-3.txt,4.txt
under mno-5.txt,6.txt
want to put some syntax from xyz folder so that in out put file 1.txt i will get all this subfolder files..

if i am giving:

ls -l *.txt| awk '{print $8 , $9} >x.txt

from abc sub folder its giving only resuls from abc..

like that i need all files name in out put file one at a time..i need a script so that it will run and give me the out put for that.

many thanks again James..

i will check it...thanks for giving me the solution..

question..

if i will use that syntax..will it give me the all files from all the subfolder in a single output file having .txt extension..
