List all files in a directory with abosolute paths (excluding directories)

Question

I've currently got:

ls -1 $(pwd)/*

Gives me all the files in a directory with absolute paths - but formats it with the directory at the start of each list of files.

Is there a way just to get a list of files in a directory recursively (absolute paths) - excluding the directory/sub-directories themselves?

Sounds like you were describing ls -1R $(pwd)/*. – Mr.Ree Oct 24 '09 at 00:22 — Mr.Ree, Oct 24 '09 at 00:22

find $(pwd) -type f -print

or

find $(pwd) -type f -ls

If one has files with spaces you'll need to edit the result of this command - space -> _. – user191960 Oct 24 '09 at 00:05

If you are feeding it into something else, you might want -print0 (to handle filenames with spaces).

E.g.: find . -type f -print0 | xargs --null --no-run-if-empty grep
