Use Powershell to list the Fully Pathed Filenames on Individual Separate Lines?

Question

If I execute:

Get-ChildItem *.ext -recurse 

the output consists of a series of Directory sections followed by one or more columns of info for each matching file separated by said directory sections. Is there something like the Unix find command? In which each matching file name appears on a single line with its full relative path?

Answer 1

Get-Childitem by default outputs a view for format-table defined in a format xml file somewhere.

get-childitem | format-table

get-childitem | format-list *

shows you the actual properties in the objects being output. See also How to list all properties of a PowerShell object . Then you can pick and choose the ones you want. This would give the full pathname:

get-childitem | select fullname

If you want an output to be just a string and not an object:

get-childitem | select -expand fullname
get-childitem | foreach fullname
