Script or application for making list of folders

[Kralle]

Hello -people!

I'm looking for a script or an application which generates a text-file containing the names of the folders in my Music-directory.

Does anybody have a suggestion to a script or application which would make my life easier, since I've got tons of folders in there.

Thanks in advance,
Kralle

ls ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media

or

ls -l ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media

Excuse me, but where do I put that?

Applications / Utilities / Terminal

Try this. Open Terminal (in Utilities) and enter

ls ~/Music/ > ~/Desktop/MusicFolders.txt

You should get a file named MusicFolders.txt on your Desktop.

ls ~/Music/ > ~/Desktop/MusicFolders.txt

You should get a file named MusicFolders.txt on your Desktop.

Add "-l" if you want more information, like folder size and modifying date.

ls [B]-l[/B] ~/Music/ > ~/Desktop/MusicFolders.txt

Thanks for all the replies, guys!

What I'm looking for are the folders in ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music, but what I want is the folders in the Music-folder AND the subfolders in each folder (look at the example with the Amon Amarth-directory):

Although, if I put "ls ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music > ~/Desktop/MusicFolders.txt" it says "No such file or directory".

Thanks in advance.

Although, if I put "ls ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music > ~/Desktop/MusicFolders.txt" it says "No such file or directory".

That's because you need to either escape the space in "iTunes Music" with a \ in front of the space or, put quotes around the path. The command won't give you a recursive view of the directories though. Or you don't have that specific folder.

Edit: Try this,

find ~/Music -type d > ~/Desktop/music-directories.txt

If you only want the folder name at the end,

find ~/Music -type d | sed s'#.*/\(.*\)$#\1#' > ~/Desktop/music-directories.txt
