Command to display /dir, /dir/sub, /dir/sub/files

Hi,
is there one command which can show every single "thing"(sub directories) under the current directory.

#ls -something /dir
1 3 4

1/a b c
2/ d a b

Like tree kind of command but in ls format.

Thanks.

ls -something /dir/*

ls -Ra /wherever

ls -Ra worked fine.

Now can some tell me how filter name out?
Like I only need names to feed to some scripts.
I could use sed or awk.

Not sure what exactly you want but you can also use find command to search for desired files and then execute script on them. Check find command: Linux commands.

Code:

man ls

It'll give you all the options you'll ever need for listing a directory

That is a good idea. Find the directory and apply commands on them.
Thanks.

Dude! I am not THAT new in linux. Have been using it as my primary system for 7 years.

No offense - but in that case you shouldn't have to ask a
question of that level :}

Cheers,

Well My question was more for getting an idea, then a just a ls command. User LINUX gave me good suggestion.

Thank you all.
