Linux command to print directory structure in the form of a tree

Question

Is there any linux command that I can call from a Bash script that will print the directory structure in the form of a tree, e.g.,

folder1
   a.txt
   b.txt
         


        

Answer 1

You can also use the combination of find and awk commands to print the directory tree. For details, please refer to "How to print a multilevel tree directory structure using the linux find and awk combined commands"

find . -type d | awk -F'/' '{ 
depth=3;
offset=2;
str="|  ";
path="";
if(NF >= 2 && NF < depth + offset) {
    while(offset < NF) {
        path = path "|  ";
        offset ++;
    }
    print path "|-- "$NF;
}}'
