Package: tree
Version: 1.5.0-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi !

I've been using this utility for a long time now and I find it very
useful for quickly displaying the content of a directory. I recently
discovered the « -P » option because I wanted to display only some file
ending with the same regex. But as this directory was huge, I wanted to
display only those files and not the entire directory tree. And this is
not possible as I understand it (maybe I missed something, and if so,
please pardon me).

So it would be nice if a « --list-only » option existed that could be
used in conjonction with the « -P » option, so that only those files
matching the regex would be displayed.

I'm sorry I can only express my wish and not code myself this feature,
but I lack such knowledge.


Maybe this option could enter the next version of tree .. ;-)


Thanks for your work !

Steve
