list filenames of all files in a folder's subfolders, grouped by subfolder, in one terminal command [solved]

[pepperminty]

I have a folder containing about 9 subfolders. Each subfolder has about 10 files. How can I easily list, in one terminal command, all (approximately) 90 filenames, grouped by subfolder? The listing can appear in the terminal or can be outputted into a simple text file.
All (approximately) 90 files are have the same filename extension. I'd prefer it if the terminal command can just chop off the extension part of the filename. For example, "Every morning.txt" will appear in the text file as "Every morning".

Here's a printout I don't mind having:

Folder1

Every morning
Sweet sundae
The sweet spring season
blah blah


Folder2

The road to nowhere
Surfing USA
A change in time
blahblahblah

Thank you.

UPDATE: Solution is simply one word in terminal:

Code: Select all

find

How close does this get:

Code: Select all

ls -R1 /path/to/folder | rev | cut -d"." -f2-  | rev

MrEen. Not quite there.

It doesn't include the name of the folder.
When I wrote "Folder1" or "Folder2" in my OP, that's supposed to be the actual names of the subfolders.

I want the actual subfolder names to be part of the output.

What it did was list all the subfolder names at the beginning of the output, but separated from the contents of each subfolder.

[MrEen]

Wowzers! I figured it'd get you part way, but not across the finish line.

I'm glad, surprised as heck, but glad, I could help.

ROFL. I knew it!

[pepperminty]

Sorry. I was so excited just to see something.
But I had to quickly erase the "[Solved]" from the OP's title.

As a guess, I'll bet you want the folder paths changed to just the folder names. Would that be accurate?

I think the answer to your question is yes.

I *don't" want this sort of printout

/home/folder/folder1

file1
file 2
file 3

/home/folder/folder2

filea
file AB
filebc

Rather, I'd prefer something like:

folder1 [<--- Let's say this is the actual name of the folder ]

file1
file 2
file 3

folder2

filea
file AB
filebc

FYI, I ran your command from inside the main folder, so I just removed the /path/to/folder part of the command.

That part I can't help with I'm afraid. I believe it's hard coded to have the path with a semicolon at the end for each folder. There's still a way to do it, but it's beyond my abilities.

Someone else should be able to help you get over that hurdle.

I don't mind if there's a semicolon. I'm not picky.
I also don't mind if it's "path/to/folder" and not just Folder1 or Folder2.

What's important is that the filenames appear in the right group (i.e., associated with the subfolder that contains them).

Solved with one word:

Code: Select all

find

[MrEen]

LOL!

I just thought of this as a possible solution:

Code: Select all

ls -R1 | rev | cut -d"." -f2-  | cut -d"/" -f1,2 | rev

[pepperminty]

I just tried that, and grouping is still off. Thanks so much though.

[MrEen]

You're welcome. I'm glad you found a solution.
