Hi friends,

Hello again :slight_smile:

i got stuck in problem. Is there any way to get a special directory from directory tree?
Here is my problm.." Suppose i have one fix directory structure "/abc/xyz/pqr/"(this will be fix).Under this directory structure i have some other directory and sub-directories. Now i want to search a directory (dynamically entered by user)and list out all the files under that particular directory".

I tried but i couldn't :wall: unless i manually type full directory path. :frowning: ...
I hope, friends you got my question. please give me some idea....

find "/abc/xyz/pqr/$INPUTDIR" -type f
