Is it possible to select a folder in the finder and create a spreadsheet of all of its hierarchy?
I need to have an "at a glance" view of ALL of my files and folders at once.. Is this possible?
iMac, Latest OS
For a text file of ALL files and Folders in your Home Directory,
In Terminal, enter:
find ~ -print | sed -e 's;[^/]*/;|--->;g;s;--->|; |;g' > ~/Desktop/Tree.txtTo direct to a specific Folder, replace ~ with the Directory (i.e. find ~/Documents):
find ~/Documents -print | sed -e 's;[^/]*/;|--->;g;s;--->|; |;g' > ~/Desktop/Tree.txtFor a text file of ALL files and Folders in your Home Directory,
In Terminal, enter:
find ~ -print | sed -e 's;[^/]*/;|--->;g;s;--->|; |;g' > ~/Desktop/Tree.txtTo direct to a specific Folder, replace ~ with the Directory (i.e. find ~/Documents):
find ~/Documents -print | sed -e 's;[^/]*/;|--->;g;s;--->|; |;g' > ~/Desktop/Tree.txtThanks. I'll try it...
