Export page list as CSV

You need a machine-readable list of children under the current space or page — for a spreadsheet, a script, or a quick inventory — without leaving the Shell console.

Use ls --format csv (also ls --format=csv). Output is a header row plus RFC 4180 fields, with UTC ISO timestamps. Shell prints to the terminal only; there is no > redirect to write a file from the console. Copy from the terminal if you need the rows elsewhere.

List children as CSV

$ cd YourSpace
$ ls --format csv
$ ls --format=csv ./Projects

Both spellings are valid. Run after cd so the listing matches the parent you care about.

Prefer human columns? Use ls -l

For a readable table in the console, use richer ls -l (id, status, version, owner, last-update date, title, url). For anything automated, prefer --format csv — do not parse -l lines.

$ ls -l
$ ls -l ./Projects

On pages, date is last update (same clock as find -mtime), local YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM. At the site root, spaces show created (spaces have no last-update field).

Notes

• Terminal output only — no shell redirect to save a .csv file.
• -l / --format csv under a space or page may make one extra request per 250 pages.
• Same-space navigation only in this recipe; see Limitations.

• Move selected Confluence pages to another parent — same-space mv after find by name or last update (max 100)
• Find pages not updated recently — find -mtime (optional -prune before mv -n)
