Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello Folks,

I want to generate the file attributes of the system and needs to write into the text file.

I am running the command "ls -Rl" to get the details of the files from the current directory.

I am getting the output.

I want the output through the script that converts the output in the below mentioned format

I want the output in such a way, each file shows the full path from the "/" directory.

I have tried many sed regex but I did not make it work.

Could you please help me out to write this script?

Thanks,

find command will give almost similar kind of o/p except two extra fields in the begining
you can get rid of that using awk or something else

find . -ls -long

Thanks for the help. The solution was really meant to me.

However, I have only one issue. In this list, I want the details of the device file that contains the major num and minor number. If I could get this details, it would be great.

Is there any command with this command to get that details?

Thanks,
Saurabh
