Sorry to be late in replying. I pick up mail once a day only. On your queiry on recursive dir ....
AFAIK, using my technique NO! Essentially each "*/" represents one level of directory structure. It is possible to get the second level with "ls -d */*/" and third level with "ls -d */*/*/", but in these cases directories with lesser number of levels will NOT be listed, and multiple aliases will be needed ... definitely not elegant. I would support Karsten <kmself@ix.netcom.com> here. Use the "tree" program. Thats what its meant for. I use two aliases for directory listings from the present working directory: a) alias lsd='ls -d */' b) alias lst='tree -d | less' Other options would be to use dedicated scripts for the purpose, or filter a ls -R output through grep or sed etc. Some suggestions have already come on the list in this regard.
