Thanks for your reply.

My steps to use cscope like the following

I encountered this problem when i tried to use vim with cscope.maybe i need move this question to other tag.

You used the Vim tag. Is this because you are trying to use the `:cscope` commands within Vim? If so, can you show the commands that you are trying and what errors you are getting? — jamessan, Jul 07 '10 at 16:46

You can do it simply using GNU find at least, you can use the -printf or -fprintf options for that:

find . -type f -fprintf cscope.files '"%p"\n'

Yours is the fastest answer: 8% faster than mine, 14% faster than with sed . . . and 1000x as fast as with exec! – webb Mar 03 '16 at 16:19

pydave's answer is very slow. This way took 0.10s where pydave's answer took 14s:

find . -name "*.scala" | awk '{print "\""$0"\""}' > cscope.files

You can use find's -exec to force quotes around your output:

find . -name "*.scala" -exec echo \"{}\" \; > cscope.files

You might need to mess around with quoting/escaping if you're doing this from a script.

@webb: Using fprintf (Olivier Diotte's answer) certainly seems like a better use of `find` than my naive proposal. – idbrii Apr 05 '16 at 17:37

Double quoting the files names works in cygwin, where as escaping with backslash does not.

$ find $PWD -name "*.scala" | sed -e 's/^/"/g' -e 's/$/"/g' > cscope.files
