Hello Linux Masters!

I have a particular problem I need to solve related to the "ls" command
and
globbing.

As an example, to see the all of the files in the root directories of my
websites I do:
$ ls -m /var/www/*

This gives me the output in the form:
---
/var/www/site1:
index.html, some_image.jpg

/var/www/site2:
index.html, some_other_file
---

Which is beautiful, but I need to work with the output, hence I need the
full filepaths, something like this:
---
/var/www/site1/index.html, /var/www/site1/some_image.jpg,
/var/www/site2/index.html, /var/www/site2/some_other_file
---
Is there any known way to get that kind of output instead?

find /var/www

then you get the full joy of using find's many features too. just
remember if you are using globbing in find's arguments (such as -name
or -iname) that you should escape the wildcards ala \*

if you really want a comma seperated list, the check out sed or cut.
