Find Command – Make Find Show Slash After Directories

find

How can I make the find command show a slash after directories? For example, I want dir to show up as dir/ instead of dir. I'm using find . -print

Portably:

find . -type d -exec sh -c 'printf "%s/\n" "$0"' {} \; -or -print

If you're willing to list directories and files separately (you can merge the output by sorting):

{ find . -type d -print | sed 's!$!/!'; find . \! -type d; } | sort

With GNU find, see Shawn J. Goff's answer.

If you're willing to risk non-printable characters being mangled even when not outputting to a terminal, see ddeimeke's answer.

In zsh: print -rl -- **/*(DM) (D to include dot files, M to add a / after directories)

Centos – du command show a slash after directories

Just make it work with a little bash scripting. Print the size and filename, if it is a directory add a trailing slash.

du -ab | while IFS=$'\t' read -r size line; do printf "%s\t%s" $size "$line"; [[ -d $line ]] && printf "/"; echo; done

This will work with any file name not containing newlines or ending with a tab.

Find -exec mv stops after first exec

In:

find -type f -name "*.txt" -exec sh -c 'mv -v "${0%/*}" ../bar' {} \;

find opens the current directory (.), gets the content (list1). Then goes on to process that list. It processes dir6; as that file is a directory, it chdirs into it, opens it gets a second list of files (list2), processes file.txt and does:

mv -v ./dir6 ../bar

Now, find's current directory has not changed, but its path has changed: it is now ../bar/dir6. After finishing traversing the content of dir6, it goes back up (chdir("..")) and is now in ../bar. find detects that the directory is not the same as before and exits.
