Hello,

I'm running Fedora Core 5 Linux. I was wondering how I would write a
shell script, that given a directory name, prints out all the child
files, including those in sub-directories. So, for example, if I had a
root directory, "base", with two files "a.txt", "b.txt", and one
sub-directory "basesub", which contained one file, "basesub/c.txt", I
would like my shell script to print out

> sh myscript.sh basedir

a.txt
b.txt
basesub/c.txt

How can this be done?

Thanks, - Dave

Would this be sufficient for your requirements...?

find basedir -type f -print

The '-print' might be optional on your system.
