There was a problem on the disk, now repaired. But to make good the
loss caused, I need to rename 13000 files and to do that I need to
list them all with their full path
in/folder/folder/foo/bar/file1.jpg
in/folder1/folder9/foo/bar/file2.jpg
in/folder6/folder8/foo/bar/file3.jpg
in/folder56/folder89/foo/bar/file4.jpg
I assume that I can do this with ls, but as usual can't find the
relevant bit in the man page. Can anyone point me at the appropriate
command?
Stuffit is innocent, by the way. I just used it to try and open the
zip created by the Apple utility, which I shall now take great
pleasure in turning off. Disks are cheaper than rescue operations.
