error with shell script looping over sub-directories in directory

Question

I am trying to loop through all the sub-directories in a directory and to copy the pathname of all files containing the word "event" into a new listfile. But, for some reason my code only looks at the last sub-directory...any ideas?

for dir in */

do

echo "$dir"

ls -l $dir* | grep events > FullSkim.list

done

Answer 1

You should change > to >> .

• > (Redirecting Output): If the file does not exist it is created; if it does exist it is truncated to zero size.
• >> (Appending Redirected Output): If the file does not exist it is created; if it does exist it is opened for appending.

Answer 2

你可以改用

find . | grep "events" > file
