File list of every file on the HDD

[UBUminJ]

I have looked around but I didn't find a working solution.

I am using Ubuntu 19.04.

I want to list all files together with their location(path) and their size - nothing else.

find . lists all the files but can I add the filesize?
Is there another command which I should consider?

Thank you

The option '-printf "formatstring"' of find enables you to print out all kinds of information about the found files.

find / -printf '%p %s\n'

The '%p' in the format description is the complete path and name, '%s' is size in bytes. You might want to add the option '-xdev' to stop find from going into other filesystems like /proc, /sys, /dev or mounted drives.

Thank you Holger. It is solved.

There is also the old ls -lR method, that was included in every CDROM with F/LOSS software from the 1990s. If you find any Linux ISO/disc from that time, you'll always find a file in the ISO9660 root named LS-LR or something close to that.

Removing columns from text files is something any good text editor should accomplish trivially. vim does it.
Or you can use awk, sed, cut, perl, python, ruby, or any other minimally capable programming language.

Sometimes it is handy to sort by size, rather than location. ls can do this without piping through sort.
ls -lRS

Anyway, there are many solutions possible. Holger_Gehrke's is probably the best, based on the problem description.
