How to only get file name with Linux 'find'?

Question

I\'m using find to all files in directory, so I get a list of paths. However, I need only file names. i.e. I get ./dir1/dir2/file.txt and I want to get fi

If you are using GNU find

find . -type f -printf "%f\n"

Or you can use a programming language such as Ruby(1.9+)

$ ruby -e 'Dir["**/*"].each{|x| puts File.basename(x)}'

If you fancy a bash (at least 4) solution

shopt -s globstar
for file in **; do echo ${file##*/}; done
