malaga Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 Good day dear Armbian-experts, hello everyone hope that youre all right and all goes well at your side. i want to simulate a tree command using Shell Script that displays all the directories recursively in this format: . . |-- Lorem |-- Lorem |-- Lorem |-- Lorem |-- Lorem |-- Lorem `-- Lorem how can this be achived? note: i want to do this on a MX-Linux system - well i can do this with Tree - but wait. I guess that tree has to be installed first..
TRS-80 Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 1. Not sure what you are trying to do, but tree have a lot of command line options. 2. Surely it is open source, go look up sources to study implementation details? 27 minutes ago, malaga said: i want to do this on a MX-Linux system 3. This has nothing to do with Armbian, maybe try #linux on libera.chat or (any of the many, many) other general Linux resources on the Internet.
