You might want to then either snip out the initial "./", like so... find . -type d' | perl -pe 's#^\./##' ...or even drop all of the path except for the directory name: find . -type d | gawk -F'/' '{print $NF}' Related to this kind of stuff, I really like this "tree" program: http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/ Using that you can do things like this... tree -dN ...to get a neat view of your directory tree. It also allows for HTML output with links. That can be very useful. Mike
