Find to File.txt no Path

I would like to know how to send the result of the find without the path

I Try:

Code:

find * -type f > List1.txt

find * -exec echo "{}" >> List2.txt \;

Yep, more concise and a little bit faster :thumbsup:

Diantre --

Thanks !

That's a keeper.

This

Code:

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

Is MUCH better than the old-way I USED to do it:

Code:

for File in $(find . -type f -print)

do

  [ ! -z "$File" ] && basename $File || continue

done

Thanks again !

I'll be using your find..printf '%f\n' construct from now on -- there are a LOT of handy printf args for the `find` command in there !

-- kjh( :) gotta remember to review the man pages from time-to-time :) )
