I want to simulate a tree command using Shell Script that displays all the directories recursively in this format:

.

Answer 1

Try doing this (not exactly the same output, but very close) :

find ./ -type d -print | sed -e 's;[^/]*/;|____;g;s;____|; |;g'

From http://mlsamuelson.com/content/tree-approximation-using-find-and-sed

with awk

find . -type d -print 2>/dev/null|awk '!/\.$/ {for (i=1;i
