I'm now using the bash script below to create file listing in each level 2 depth directories and output as text file in each particular folders.
But, i can only name it as "File.txt"
How to use the level 2 depth directory as the output text file name
e.g. while list the files in /users/bin/ the output file should named "bin.txt"
here's the code that i'm using.
#!/bin/bash
while IFS= read -r -d '' folder; do
echo $folder find "$folder" -type f > "$folder"/File.txt
done < <(find . -maxdepth 2 -mindepth 2 -type d -print0)
You have to account for (1) files in the present working directory (which will have no path component aside from '.'), and (2) the rest of the files in the level 2 directories. If for instance, you wanted to output your list of the files in the present directory to pwd.txt and each file in the level 2 directories to files with the respective directory names (e.g. ./dir1/file_a.txt into dir1.txt), you could do something similar to the following in the body of your loop:
tmp="${folder%/*}" ## remove filename
lvl2name="${tmp##*/}" ## remove leading path components
[[ $lvl2name = '.' ]] && lvl2name="pwd" ## handle files in pwd to pwd.txt
echo $folder find "$folder" -type f >> "$lvl2name.txt"
It is up to you to truncate any existing "$lvl2name.txt" files before each subsequent run of the script. You could make a previous call to find . -maxdepth 2 -type d ... before your enter you file loop to get the directory names or something similar.
Give it a try and let me know if you have questions.
