Custom Charset(s)

With Ascii charset

Command: tree-extended -max=2 -c=ascii

Directory Tree:

+---a/
|   +---aa/
|   +---ab/
|   \---ac/
+---a1/
+---b/
|   +---ba/
|   +---bb/
|   +---bc/
|   +---bd/
|   \---bfile1.txt
+---c/
+---c1/
\---d/
    +---d1/
    \---d2/

With Utf8 Icons charset

Command: tree-extended -max=2 -charset=utf8-icons

Directory Tree:

├───📁 a/
│   ├───📁 aa/
│   └───📁 ab/
├───📁 a1/
├───📁 b/
│   ├───📁 bb/
│   ├───📁 bd/
│   └───📄 bfile1.txt
└───📁 d/
    └───📁 d1/

Ignores

Command: tree-extended -ignore="1:ba, 2:bafile1, c"

Directory Tree:

├───a/
│   ├───aa/
│   └───ab/
├───a1/
├───b/
│   ├───bb/
│   ├───bd/
│   └───bfile1.txt
└───d/
    ├───d1/
    └───d2/

Only

Command: tree-extended -only="0:b, 1:bc, 2:bca"

Directory Tree:

├───b/
│   └───bc/
│       └───bca/
│           └───bca-file1.txt
└───ba/

In this example you can see you can restrict to only one path (or many). But here we can see that like the restriction is 0:b (in the level 0 restric to b) also ba/ is included. For avoiding this, we can use regular expressions in the patterns.

Command: tree-extended -only="0:b$, 1:bc, 2:bca"

Directory Tree:

└───b/
    └───bc/
        └───bca/
            └───bca-file1.txt
