Hi all,
I have been trying to come up with a way of getting find to give me a
list of all directories within a specific directory, without including
the parent in the list. I do not seem to be able to achieve it.
For instance, my directory tree has the following structure:
.
`-- Patient1
|-- 02-03-2009
`-- 02-10-2009
I want find to only match 02-03-2009 and 02-10-2009. However, the
following command gives:
$ find Patient1 -type d
Patient1/
Patient1/02-03-2009
Patient1/02-10-2009
How do I stop matching the parent directory - "Patient1", in this case?
Of course, I could pipe this output through sed/grep to get what I need,
but I am curious if I can do it using find alone. All help is appreciated.
Thanks,
-K
Hello.
$ find Patient1 -type d -printf %P\\n
Remove the '\\n' if you don't want a newline printed after each line.
