for the sake of some documentation and web pages i'm writing, i'd like to generate "tree" like output for a directory structure, but without the standard indentation vertical and horizontal lines, replacing that with space indentation (ideally selectable). so instead of: bitbake/ ├── AUTHORS ├── bin │ ├── bitbake │ ├── bitbake-diffsigs i'd get: bitbake/ AUTHORS bin/ bitbake bitbake-diffsigs and so on. in a perfect world, i'd have most of the "tree" options, like adding the "ls -F" filetype character to the end of each name if i want, but also being able to select the indentation quantum (in terms of number of spaces). i'm poring over the "tree" options but don't see if i can get that with regular "tree". thoughts? yes, i could hack up a filter, but it would be just ducky if some standard command already did what i'm after. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
