Hi all,
I am a real beginner to shell scripting and would REALLY appreciate if anyone out there can give some suggestions
on how I can solve the following problem:
I need to create a shell script that scans through a directory (with sub-directories)
and builds a listing (in text file format) of the pathnames of all files contained within it.
If anyone could help out here with some code extracts or suggestions on which commands may be useful to get me started I'd be so grateful.
Thanks heaps in advance,
A novice!

Give the following command from the base directory
find . -name "*" > outfilename.txt
outfilename.txt will contain all the recursive file listing.
Regards
