Re: [SLE] Showing Directory structure - SOLVED

Thanks Mark for that! Much appreciated. I had to install tree but once done it worked as advertised! Thanks again, Nick On Saturday 27 December 2003 11:16, Mark Gray wrote:

Hi, I'm trying to get a list of the directory structure of something and could use some help. I went to man ls and saw that -R gives me Recursive, but that gives me every file within every directory on the tree. Doing ls -lhR Directory/ > file.txt gave me a text file with all the top level directory names in alphabetical order, then all the files within each directory, then all sub-level directory names in alphabetical order, then all their files ...

I want to generate a list of the directory tree without listing the files within the folders. I also would like the listing to show a directory immediately followed by its subdirectories, NOT a list of all top level directory names alphabetically, followed by the first level sub directories alphabetically, etc.

Example:

A ->Aa ->Ab ->Ac B ->Ba ->Bb ->Bc C ->Ca ->Cb ->Cc

Thanks, and sorry if this is a thoroughly mind-numbingly basic operation.

tree -d
