I have a directory which has a folder in it full of files I want to output into a text file, but when I run this it only outputs the name of the folder in directory1 instead of all the files within the folder in the directory.
ls directory1 | sort -d -r >> listoffiles.txt
linux directory ls

are you looking for a recursive directory listing?

It is unclear whether you want the names of all the files or the contents of all the files, and whether you want this recursively for all subdirectories or just your one top-level directory.

Need more input; do you have several directories underdirectory1? Does the subdirectories name ever change?

I believe that the OP is cluelessly asking how to concatenate the contents of all the files in a directory into one new file. Voting to close for lack of a clue. Besides, the OP has deleted their account three hours after creating it, so there’s no clear evidence that they actually want an answer.
