Thanks for your reply.

My steps to use cscope like the following

• find . -name '*.scala'>cscope.files
• cscope -b
  at this step. i see the message indicates that can not find file:
  cscope: cannot find file /work/project/copy
  cscope: cannot find file of
  cscope: cannot find file fp/src/main/jav....
  Actually copy of fp is a folder.so i think cscope can not recognize the folder contains space.

I encountered this problem when i tried to use vim with cscope.maybe i need move this question to other tag.

Answer 1

You can do it simply using GNU find at least, you can use the -printf or -fprintf options for that:

find . -type f -fprintf cscope.files '"%p"\n'

Answer 2

pydave's answer is very slow. This way took 0.10s where pydave's answer took 14s:

find . -name "*.scala" | awk '{print "\""$0"\""}' > cscope.files

Answer 3

You can use find's -exec to force quotes around your output:

find . -name "*.scala" -exec echo \"{}\" \; > cscope.files

You might need to mess around with quoting/escaping if you're doing this from a script.
