Export file/folder attributes to text file

[jdschwam]

I have been looking all day for an answer. Please help. I am a NuBe on this stuff.

I need to create a text file that contains folder path, file name and attributes such as create date, modified date etc.

I believe the Terminal app should do this.

Can anyone please explain it to me.

Thanks,

d

The ls (Lowercase L) command is what you need. Do man ls to find out more details to get the output to contain everything you need.

Thank you. I now see what I have to do. First, I need to learn to navigate the Terminal app, but I can figure this out. then exercise the options of the "ls" command. Thanks again.

You might also look at the man pages for the stat command.
