Question

I am new to Unix system. I am not sure is this task possible or how ?

I have this directory structure

c: parent dir/ child dir/file1
c: parent dir/ child dir/file2
c: parent dir/ child dir/file3
.
.

I need to export all this files name and its full location(path) to an excel sheet.

Any hint/help would be appreciated.

thanks

You can export the list returned from find to a CSV file. To get a list of files only (not directories) in a specific folder, not recursively, you would do:

find `pwd` -maxdepth 1 -type f -print > files.csv
