generate file list?

I need to generate a list of all files in the current directory and
all subdirs, but not the directories themselves. I need each entry to
have either the full path or the full path relative to the current
dir. (This is simple in DOS: "dir/a-d/b/s".)

Either of these examples is acceptable:
------
foo
bar/1
bar/2
baz/3
baz/4/5
--or--
/home/me/foo
/home/me/bar/1
/home/me/bar/2
/home/me/baz/3
/home/me/baz/4/5
------
....but this is not:
------
foo

bar:
1
2

baz:
3

4:
5
------

I thought I could just do it with ls but I'm having a hell of a time
figuring out which switches would be appropriate. (Of course, it
doesn't *have* to be ls.)

There's got to be a simple solution to this, but I've been beating my
brains out over it all weekend. (Okay, not really, but it *is*
annoying.) Help? Please? (If it matters, it's Linux kernel 2.4.35 on
a Pentium III.)

find . -type f

find "`pwd`" -type f

P.S. Thank you.

In POSIX shells, you can also do:

find "$PWD" -type f

Which, contrary to "`pwd`" works even if the current directory
name ends in a newline character.

I generally prefer

find "$PWD" -type f -print

Which is more legible and works better with some old versions of
find.

Thanks for that, but since all the dirs I'll be using this is were
created in Windows, that's not really a concern. (Although... I'll
probably use $PWD if it's more portable than `pwd` .)

Thanks for that, too.

Shouldn't it be
find . ! -type d

It's not more portable, it would even tend to be less portable
(some very old shells like the Bourne shell don't support it),
it's just slightly more reliable and is more efficient.

This is a semantics question, did the OP mean strictly 'files' or
did he mean 'not the directories' (as he also typed), I'll suppose
the former but only the OP knows the rhyme ;-)

Re: generate file list?

Hello Auric_

as I see, you've' already found your answer...

I wanted to ask you if the email in your signature is still valid or
if you look in it anyway.
Cause I've send an email to this address. No, not about a question or
something like this. Just an opinion.

Maybe you can look and tell me if you have received it.

Greets,
Andreas E. Mueller

I was thinking "regular files"; I wasn't thinking of devices,
symlinks, etc. (This'll probably be running on a FAT32 FS so most of
those kinds of things won't be a worry.)

Yes, it's current, but I only check that address once a week or so.
Sometimes not even that often.

I'll post a response to your email in *that* group. Gimme a few
minutes.
