LIST OF DIRECTORIES AND SUBDIRECTORIES

[conquersmile]

Hi,

How do I get the list of directories and subdirectories present in a particular path .

ls -R displays the file names also, but i want only the directories and subdirectories names.

Thanks and Regards,

You should find this question from the forum first. Anyway, the most simply way is

find .

Hi,

I thought there is some option in ls apart from the find command.

Thanks for the help

Not fully correct of my post before. There should be

find /pathname -type d

tikual

 

[Milleniumlegend]

Try ls -d
d, -lists directory entries instead of contents

you can also try the command test and check if a directory exists.

Hi,

I tried the ls -d command but it is displaying only one "." (dot) as the output.

Try this to get just the full path of the directories and subdirectories from root: find / -type d -print

Also, ls -lR | grep ^d will give you a long listing (including owner, size, timestamp) of directories and subdirectories, but not the path to the subdirectories.

It is working.
