This prints all files  recursively  from the current directory   find   PWD    awk   ogg    filter  ogg files by regex find   PWD    grep  ogg    filter  ogg files by term find   PWD    ack  ogg     filter  ogg files by regex term using https   github com petdance ack2

You could easily use the following to list only files  ls -d -1  PWD      the following to list directories  ls -d -1  PWD     the following to list everything  files dirs   ls -d -1  PWD       More helpful options   -d list directories not their content -R recursive -1 list one file per line -l use long listing format -a list all including entries starting with   and    -A list all but don t list implied   and     for more info  just type the following ls --help

The ls command will only print the name of the file in the directory  Why not do something like  print   mnt mediashare net 192 168 1 220 STORAGE 1d1b7     i   This will print out the directory with the filename

How about   du -a  -b   --max-depth N    That should give you a file and directory listing  relative to your current location   You will get sizes as well  add the  -b  parameter if you want the sizes in bytes    The max-depth parameter may be necessary to  quot encourage quot  du to dive deeply enough into your file structure -- or to keep it from getting carried away  YMMV  -101-

you just want the full path why not use the utility meant for that a combination of readlink and grep should get you what you want  grep -R   --include     mkv mp4      cut -d     -f3    xargs readlink -e    the question mark should be replaced with the right pattern - this is almost right   this is probably the best solution remove the grep part if you dont need a filter find  lt dirname gt    grep  mkv   xargs readlink -e    xargs ls --color auto   only matroska files in the dir and subdirs with nice color - also you can edit ls flags find  mnt mediashare net 192 168 1 220 STORAGE 1d1b7   grep  mkv  find  mnt mediashare net 192 168 1 220 STORAGE 1d1b7   xargs grep -R   --include     mkv mp4      cut -d     -f3   I am sure you can do more with grep  readlink -f  ls    in the directory or

Print the full path  also called resolved path  with  realpath README md  In interactive mode you can use shell expansion to list all files in the directory with their full paths  realpath    If you re programming a bash script  I guess you ll have a variable for the individual file names  Thanks to VIPIN KUMAR for pointing to the related readlink command

For listing everything with full path  only in current directory  find  PWD -maxdepth 1   Same as above but only matches a particular extension  case insensitive   sh files in this case   find  PWD -maxdepth 1 -iregex      sh     PWD is for current directory  it can be replaced with any directory  mydir   etc sudoers d     find  mydir -maxdepth 1   maxdepth prevents find from going into subdirectories  for example you can set it to  2  for listing items in children as well  Simply remove it if you need it recursive   To limit it to only files  can use -type f option   find  PWD -maxdepth 1 -type f

There is more than one way to do that  the easiest I think would be   find  mnt mediashare net 192 168 1 220 STORAGE 1d1b7   also this should work    cd  mnt mediashare net 192 168 1 220 STORAGE 1d1b7  ls   xargs -i echo  pwd
