List directoties down one level, excluding some named directories and files
I want to send a list of all folders including one level down to a txt file. Excluding some named folders and no files.
Imagine a folder structure like this. CAPS are folders.
FOLDER 1
.hidden
TEMP
somefile
=========
=========
FOLDER 2
.hidden
TEMP
DATA1
DATA2
somefile
========
========
FOLDER 3
.hidden
TEMP
DATA1
somefile
I would like to run "insert magic command here" and end up with an output that looks like below
FOLDER 1
FOLDER 2
DATA1
DATA2
FOLDER 3
DATA1
bash shell-script

I did this to create your folder structure:
for f in FOLDER 1 FOLDER 2 FOLDER 3
do mkdir -p "$f/TEMP"
touch "$f/.hidden" "$f/somefile"
case "$f" in
(*2) mkdir -p "$f/DATA1/TEMP" "$f/DATA2/TEMP";;
(*3) mkdir -p "$f/DATA1/TEMP"
esac
done
That created a tree like:
find .
.
./FOLDER 1
./FOLDER 1/TEMP
./FOLDER 1/.hidden
./FOLDER 1/somefile
./FOLDER 2
./FOLDER 2/TEMP
./FOLDER 2/.hidden
./FOLDER 2/somefile
./FOLDER 2/DATA1
./FOLDER 2/DATA1/TEMP
./FOLDER 2/DATA2
./FOLDER 2/DATA2/TEMP
./FOLDER 3
./FOLDER 3/TEMP
./FOLDER 3/.hidden
./FOLDER 3/somefile
./FOLDER 3/DATA1
./FOLDER 3/DATA1/TEMP
And last I did...
find . ! -path './*/*/*' ! -name TEMP -type d
.
./FOLDER 1
./FOLDER 2
./FOLDER 2/DATA1
./FOLDER 2/DATA2
./FOLDER 3
./FOLDER 3/DATA1

Thanks that worked great I forgot that .hidden was a folder as well so added that into the find command. Find was outputting the folders in the order they were added so used the sort command to sort back into alphabetical order. So I ended up with
find . ! -path './*/*/*' ! -name TEMP ! -name .hidden -type d | sort > folderlist.txt
Cleaned up the result a bit with
sed -n -e 's;^.*/;;p'
So it lists as
FOLDER 1
FOLDER 2
DATA1
DATA2
FOLDER 3
DATA1
Finally ended up with this beast of a line
find . ! -path './*/*/*' ! -name TEMP ! -name .hidden -type d | sort | sed -n -e 's;^.*/;;p' > folderlist.txt
Might be messy but hey I'm no expert. Thanks for all the help.

If you only want the file names without path, pass-printf "%fn"to find. No need to use sed.

I did try that but couldn't get it to sort right, probably me being thick.
