how to list full paths of folders inside a directory in linux?

Question

I have a folder /home/Documents/myFolder and inside this folder there are lots other folders. I want to have a file list.txt which contains all the paths of the folders. I want the text file content like this:

 /home/Documents/myFolder/1234
 /home/Documents/myFolder/asd2
 /home/Documents/myFolder/asdawgf
 /home/Documents/myFolder/dawt
 .
 .
 .

I tried this one but it was not what I want ls > /home/Documents/myFolde/list.txt it just prints the folder names. I want the full paths.

Use find listing all directories (-type d) and then sed the output to get the full path correct:

find . -type d | sed -n 's:^\./:/home/Documents/myFolder/:'p > /home/Documents/myFolder/list.txt

yeah this works `ls -rt -d -1 $PWD/* > /home/Documents/myFolde/list.txt` – user667222 May 09 '14 at 13:14
