directory listing script

linuxzouk · 06-04-2004, 08:28 AM

how do i write a simple script to list out only directories and
then pass the directories into a parameter one by one

while not_end_of_directory_list do
cd $directory
excute a command
cd..
end

so far, i can get the directory list
directory=`find . -type d`
but how do i pass in one by one and
also without the '"." in the $directory

thanks in advance

Code:

#!/bin/ksh

(find / -type d -print) |
while read dirname
do
    cd $dirname
    echo "We are in the $dirname directory"
done

thanks for you tip

i only want to enter current directory (1 level), so with a bit modification this done the job. thanks again

home=`pwd`
(ls -l | grep ^d | awk '{ print $9 }') |
while read dirname
do
cd "$home/$dirname"
echo "We are in the $dirname directory"
done
