I have encountered behavior with ls -R that appears to be incongruous. My actual command line entry is: ls -alR /kyc_mis/dev/*/*/paul/* > pauldev.lst. The output file contains all the files and directories expected. However, the first directory has the entries listed with the path shown before the file name:
-rwxrwx--- 1 pb82477 kycmis 784 Nov 21 12:25 /kyc_mis/dev/macros/paul/standard_puts_dev.sh -rwxrwx--- 1 pb82477 kycmis 5041 Nov 26 09:48 /kyc_mis/dev/macros/paul/standardized_puts.sas -rw-rw---- 1 pb82477 kycmis 70072 Nov 21 12:32 /kyc_mis/dev/macros/paul/standardized_puts_20181121.log -rwxrwx--- 1 pb82477 kycmis 10432 Jan 3 13:12 /kyc_mis/dev/macros/paul/standardized_parameters.sas -rwxrwx--- 1 pb82477 kycmis 17091 Nov 21 12:37 /kyc_mis/dev/macros/paul/standardized_macros.sas That format is exactly what I have been trying to find with no success up to this point. My issue is that all the subsequent directory listings do not continue that format. -rwxrwx--- 1 pb82477 kycmis 393216 Jan 7 13:30 /kyc_mis/dev/code/paul/dqip_dev_exc_list.sas7bdat -rwxrwx--- 1 pb82477 kycmis 1467 Dec 19 15:21 /kyc_mis/dev/code/paul/code-file_attribs.sas -rwxrwx--- 1 pb82477 kycmis 28744 Dec 12 13:54 /kyc_mis/dev/code/paul/alternate /kyc_mis/dev/rpts/paul/kyc: total 599 -rwxrwx--- 1 pb82477 kycmis 262144 Oct 31 17:06 kyc_excepreport_old_20181022.sas7bdat drwxrwx--- 10 pb82477 kycmis 176 Oct 24 16:14 .. drwxrwx--- 2 pb82477 kycmis 55 Oct 31 17:06 . This may not be a bug, but it doesn't seem to be correct. Perhaps I am missing something?
