hi

How can I make a text list of all the directories and sub-directories with the files included?


Example:


Main folder/
file_in_main_folder-1
file_in_main_folder-2
file_inmain_foldrer-3
sub_folder1/
file_in_sub_folder1-1
file_in_sub_folder1-2
file_in_sub_folder1-3
sub_folder2/
file_in_sub_folder2-1
file_in_sub_folder2-2
file_in_sub_folder2-3

etc...etc...


Otherwords, I want a text file of a listing of all the files under their approproate folders so that I
can do a text search on this list file and find a file and know what subfolder it exists in.
I don't need the chmod or anything other than the folder/file names ( although it really doesn't matter )

Thanks

tree command


tree dir(s) > file
to dump the output to file.
