How to recursively merge directories or folders into one, retaining folder names in file names on li

storxian

Basically, I have a directory tree. I want to find and replace all "/" within that tree with "-".

can i use mv or find?

I want a directory tree to become one directory with lot of files with long names which include the names of the sub-directories which they used to be in.

for example these paths

/a/file.ex
/a/b/file.ex
/a/b/file2.ex
/a/c/file.ex
/a/c/d/file.ex
/a/c/d/file2.ex

will become files:

/a/file.ex
/a/b-file.ex
/a/b-file2.ex
/a/c-file.ex
/a/c-d-file.ex
/a/c-d-file2.ex
