Thanks, that is indeed what I need. Yet, the path is included in the last bid. If there are files in a subfolder, the path of those subfolders is printed as well. Will try myself to modify the code. Thanks!

I am surprised indeed, yet that is entirely due to my unexperience.

Will look up the difference between awk and nawk.

a bit more generic:
Code:
find . -ls |nawk '{match($0,":[0-9][0-9]*");f=substr($0,RSTART+3);match(f,"/[^/]*$");print$1,$3,f,substr(f,RSTART+1)}'

Code:

Thanks both!

I ended up using the last,
Code:
find . -ls | awk 'BEGIN { OFS = ";";} {match($11,"[^/]*$");print $1,$2,$11,substr($11,RSTART,RLENGTH)}'

I guess there is no way of adding a filetype to it (say it's a dir, file or link), correct? The above e.g. returns (just one line here):
3165047;24;./xmlrpcs.inc;xmlrpcs.inc

Where
  • 3165047 is inode
  • 24 is number of hard links?
  • ./xmlrpcs.inc is path
  • xmlrpcs.inc file name

There is a strange error using the
Code:
find . -ls |nawk '{match($0,":[0-9][0-9]*");f=substr($0,RSTART+3);match(f,"/[^/]*$");print$1,$3,f,substr(f,RSTART+1)}'

it returned:
3165045 8 65045 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 user staff 1643 24 jul 2010 ./somefolder/somefile.inc somefile.inc

Code:
find . -ls | awk '{match($11,"[^/]*$");type=($3~/^d/)?"directory":(($3~/^-/)?"file":($3~/^l/)?"link":"other");print $1,type,$11,substr($11,RSTART,RLENGTH)}'

Wow, this is so way beyond my skills. Thanks. The problem with this is that it ends when there is a file with a blank space in it.

Example:
Quote:
File with a space
is printed as
Quote:
3409897;file;./File;File
But I need:
Quote:
3409897;file;./File with a space;File with a space
