Is this possible to do
 

I have directory that has several sub directories which contain files. Is there a way to print a list of the directories and the content of the sub directories in say a txt file so that i can evaluate the listing of files contained in the directories?

`ls -R /name/of/directory > name-of-list-file.txt`

Welcome to LQ.

You can use:
ls -laR /path/to/directory > /path/to/log.file

Argh! I forgot that I have aliased `ls` to `ls -lh`... :rolleyes:

Use -l for long file listing, -a to include hidden files.

Do `man ls` for full details.
