RE: How do I list IFS subdirectories?

["Haas, Matt" <Matt.Haas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

There's a QShell command to do this called ls. Passing the -R flag to it will 
make it recurse all of the sub directories below the starting path. An example 
would be: ls -R /home (if you wanted to get the size and other attributes, 
you'd use ls-Rla /home). If you need to process the output, you could pipe it 
to a file and then read it back in but the format of the output doesn't work to 
well for that.

If you need to do something with the files or write a report that's better 
looking than ls's output, there's a process directory tree API. I forget the 
name of it but there's an example in the RedBook "Who Knew You Could Do That In 
RPGIV?". The example does basically what ls does but you could easily make it 
do something else (I changed it to write a list of files to a physical file 
which I then read through in another program). There are other API's you'll 
need if you want additional information about the files (owner, creation time, 
permissions, etc...).

There may be some other commands for getting a listing in the IFS Tools I 
mentioned earlier.

Subject: How do I list IFS subdirectories?




Say that I have the following IFS directory structure:

/PHIL/028cs
/PHIL/028cs/s1
/PHIL/028cs/s2
/PHIL/028cs/s2/ss2-1/ss2-1-1/file.txt
/PHIL/028cs/s3/ss3-1

Is there a command which will list all of the directory paths?

Thanks!
