I need to create a manifest of thousands of files and their directory paths recursively.

Here is an example of how i need the manifest to output

This_is_an_example/of_how/i_want_to_display/absolute_paths/

examplefiles.md5

examplefiles.txt

examplefile.wav



This_is_an_example/of_how/i_want_to_display/absolute_paths/part_2/

examplefiles.md5

examplefiles.txt

examplefile.wav

the command tree -fai > manifest.txt gets me close to what i need but it does not create a line break after the absolute path.

secondly i would like to output sequential files in a subdirectory as 1 single line input for example

This_is_an_example/of_how/i_want_to_display/absolute_paths/part_3/

test_file_here_0000001.dpx

test_file_here_0000002.dpx

test_file_here_0000003.dpx

test_file_here_0000004.dpx

displayed as below instead

 This_is_an_example/of_how/i_want_to_display/absolute_paths/part_4/

 test_file_here_[0000000-0000004].dpx

From man:

  -R, --recursive

          list subdirectories recursively

Try,

ls -R /path/to/dir

more closely,

ll -R /path/to/dir | awk '$1!="total"{print $NF}'

find . -print | perl -pe 'a=$_; chomp $a; -d $a or s:.*/::'

Since you want to find directories and then list their contents, why not use find for it:

find /path/to/dir -type d -exec bash -O dotglob -O nullglob -c '

    for pathname do

        header=0

        for filename in "$pathname"/*; do

            if [ ! -d "$filename" ]; then

                if [ "$header" -eq 0 ]; then

                    printf "%s/n" "${pathname%/}"

                    header=1

                fi

                printf "%sn" "${filename##*/}"

            fi

        done

        [ "$header" -eq 1 ] && printf "n"

    done' bash {} +

This finds all directories in or under the given directory path. It feeds the pathnames of all these directories to a bash script.

The bash script will iterate over each directory, printing the directory pathname as a header and listing non-directory entries present in that directory. At the end, if at least one non-directory file was found in the directory, an extra newline is outputted.

Directories that are empty or that only contains directories are not listed.

For a directory structure such as

/dir

`-- a

    |-- b

    |   `-- c

    |       |-- .hidden_file

    |       `-- file

    `-- file

This would produce the following output:

/dir/a/

file



/dir/a/b/c/

.hidden_file

file
