Unix equivalent of dir/s ?

HangTime · 23 Feb 2006 at 20:02

Are there any parameters which can be added to the "ls" command to recursively list files within subdirectories? Basically I need something which will list all the files within a given directory including all subdirectories - the same as what dir/s does in DOS.

Forgive the 'newbie' question, but I've never really used a unix CLI before.

ls -R is your friend

Thanks.

Next question - how do I dump the results of commands to a text file (equivalent of "> file.txt" in DOS)?

command > file.txt

You could also use a pipe - | - in linux you can use stand input and output to pipe commands to eachother...

For example...

bzcat *.bz2 | grep blahblah | mail -s "Blahblah's found in the compressed files" [email protected]
