Yes that is helpful (though at least in English one needs to use
JUNCTION rather than JONCTION :) and I added >/dev/null to capture the
"too long" lines.
However, it still has the problem we both identified of capturing
many duplicates and loops (until one gets them too long).
For example,
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User ->C:\Users\Default
is a duplicate of:
C:\Users\Default User ->C:\Users\Default
To do this right, one would want to stop the recursion as soon as a
junction is found since recursing down the junction will by definition
create duplicates.
The recursion one wants is something like (in pseudo code)
find_junctions(dir) {
for 'each' entry in dir {
if entry is a junction, then print junction
if 'entry' is a directory, find_junction(entry)
}
}
