So I know how to do this on windows using the cmd, I am wondering if this is possible on mac to copy all the file paths within a folder / nested folders into a .txt file.

@str is that not refering to linux? – Nebbyyy Jan 20 '17 at 13:54

`find . -type d > result.txt` should do the trick – Jean-Baptiste Yunès Jan 20 '17 at 14:00

@Jean-BaptisteYunès any ideas how to narrow it to just one folder? – Nebbyyy Jan 20 '17 at 14:05

Hey wait a minute, it seems that you don't dig by yourself, so now read the manuals `man find` and have a look at shell redirections on internet. – Jean-Baptiste Yunès Jan 20 '17 at 14:06

This ain't a good reason, SO is not a "please, makes it for me" platform. I gave you hint-solution, now dig into it. – Jean-Baptiste Yunès Jan 20 '17 at 14:08
