get a list of pdf files: tried but failed

uifiddle · 10-24-2009, 11:39 PM

I'm on a linux box and I'm a novice user of linux.

Quote:

ls -R | sed -e 's/manifest.xml//' -e 's/scribble.irx//' | cat -s > ~/iliad.txt

is not acceptable for the duplication of the file and the directory name. So there's a little complicity, I think.

Some of my PDFs have been initialized by iliad and some don't，so some file names should be perserved.
Some of my PDFs are 01.pdf,02.pdf, this means chapter 1 of a book and chapter 2 of the same book, so some directory names as book names should be perserved.

Anyone can helping me by share a bash (or perl) script listing files on iliad with brevity? Thanks in advance.

Couldnt get your question clearly.
If all you need is a list of pdf files with full path then a find command should be enough.
Please check if this works for you

find . -type f |grep -i "\.pdf$" >~/iliad.txt

Hope this helps.
