Question

find . -type f -print

./file1
./file2
./file3

Any way to make it print

file1
file2
fil         


        

Answer 1

it can be shorter

find * -type f

Answer 2

Use sed

find . | sed "s|^\./||"

Answer 3

Find only regular files under current directory, and print them without "./" prefix:

find -type f -printf '%P\n'

From man find, description of -printf format:

%P     File's name with the name of the command line argument under which it was found removed.

Answer 4

Since -printf option is not available on OSX find here is one command that works on OSX find, just in case if someone doesn't want to install gnu find using brew etc:

find . -type f -execdir printf '%s\n' {} + 

Answer 5

Another way of stripping the ./

find * -type d -maxdepth 0

Answer 6

Another way of stripping the ./ is by using cut like:

find -type f | cut -c3-
