List files only using terminal

[djnickburrett]

Hello

I would like to list the files in the folders and sub folders of my iTunes Media folder.

I don't want to list the folders, just the files - is that possible?

Thanks in anticipation
Nick

You'd need to use the ls command but a quick review of the man pages, doesn't seem to indicate any way to only list files not directories. I'm sure there's a way, I'm just not familiar with it enough

Hello

Is there a way round it with another application?

Use

find . -type f

or more specifically, for the iTunes Media

find ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media/Music -type f

Refer to find command manpage for more info (careful: its a VERY flexible command )

Hello

find ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media/Music -type f

That is very useful indeed. Is it possible to exclude hidden files such as .DS_Store

 

[leman]

One way to exclude hidden files and directories is

find ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media/Music -type f -not -path '*/\.*'

Are you looking to list just the music files but not the folders? If so, that's simple to do with Finder and TextEdit.
