Hi all,

I have been trying to come up with a way of getting find to give me a list of all directories within a specific directory, without including the parent in the list. I do not seem to be able to achieve it.

For instance, my directory tree has the following structure:
.
`-- Patient1
    |-- 02-03-2009
    `-- 02-10-2009

I want find to only match 02-03-2009 and 02-10-2009. However, the following command gives:

$ find Patient1 -type d
Patient1/
Patient1/02-03-2009
Patient1/02-10-2009

How do I stop matching the parent directory - "Patient1", in this case?

Of course, I could pipe this output through sed/grep to get what I need, but I am curious if I can do it using find alone. All help is appreciated.


Thanks,

-K


Hello.

$ find Patient1 -type d -printf %P\\n

Remove the '\\n' if you don't want a newline printed after each line.
