Recursively List all directories and files

Question

I would like to receive the following output.

Suppose the directory structure on the file system is like this:

  -dir1
      -dir2
        -file1
        -fi         


        

Answer 1

In Linux, a simple

find . -printf '%y %p\n'

will give you a list of all the contained items, with directories and files mixed. You can save this output to a temporary file, then extract all lines that start with 'd'; those will be the directories. Lines that start with an 'f' are files.
