Issue
I would like to write a bash script, that loops through all sub-directories of an input directory. Here, the $1 would be a directory name. I would like my script to loop through every single sub-directory (and their sub-directories and so on)
A sample tree would be something like:
parent
├── fold1
│ ├── amsda
│ │ ├── auojdand
│ │ └── auojdand2
│ ├── txtfil
│ └── txtfil2
├── fold2
│ ├── fold2txt
│ ├── fold2txt2
│ └── fold2txt3
├── fold3
│ ├── fold3txt
│ └── fold3txt2
├── txtfileparentben2
└── txtfilparentben
I would like to check every textfile in the "parent" directory (and its sub-directories), but that is a question for later.
Solution
This command will give you all the directories within parent
find /parent -type d
use man find for description of the command and all available options
