How can I list the file/directory names in a directory recursively that are the same, but with different capitalization/case? ex.:
INPUT (not the ls
command, the directories):
[user@localhost ~/a] ls -R
.:
b
./b:
ize Ize
./b/ize:
./b/Ize:
[user@localhost ~/a]
OUTPUT:
/b/ize

If you have GNU
uniq
, you can sort case insensitively (-i
), and use-d
to print only duplicate lines:As @StephaneChazelas mentioned in his answer, this might not do what you expect if you can have duplicate paths that only differ in case (like
a/b/foo
andA/b/foo
).
