I want to list the contents of one or more directories recursively with complete pathnames to all files. Say that I have the following files

/home/name/one/directory/foo.txt
/home/name/another/directory/bar.txt
/home/name/antoher/directory/second bar.txt

What I want is to be able to list the contents of both directories with a long listing (-l) and then manipulate that listing with sort or grep or whatever. The closest I've gotten by searching the web is:

Code: Select all

ls -ld $(find /home/name/one/directory/) $(find /home/name/antoher/directory/)

The only problem I've found so far is that it doesn't work with filenames with spaces.

Use quotes like "/home/name/antoher/directory/second bar.txt".

Use find's -ls switch. It gives you all of ls -lR's fields, plus a couple more, and a better, filter-style ungrouped linear output:

Code: Select all

find /home/name/one/directory /home/name/antoher/directory -ls

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.

Per, please mark the topic [SOLVED].
Thank you!
