Handy shell file lister for cygwin or *NIX
This tip is useful for any system with a useful implementaion of ls, wc, and awk. However, some options may need to be modified. For example, the ls options work best on linux, though they suffice on my cygwin install on Windows when my username does not have a space in it
The commands for running this trick usefully on cygwin/windows is:
ls -ghGR --full-time | awk '{ print $1"\t" $3 "\t" $4 "\t" $7 $8 $9 $10 $11 $12 }' | unix2dos > filelist.txt && wc -l filelist.txt >> filelist.txt
to produce the following listing:
