comment the use for echo without argument in shell scripting
thanks for the more readable code. It makes sense to have the base case to stop the recursion.

It is not for formatting purposes. Nothing gets printed out without it.

comment mark or color empty directories for `ls`
I suppose I have to glue them together? I know this may be complicated, but is there a way for me to modify the output of ls and then pipe it to another program that will highlight differently? I am thinking of awk to replace the match by find and then use grep to highlight the output, but I do not know how the syntax highlighting is implemented in bash and grep does not match the directory name. Also grep will erase the highlight done by ls. Would you happen to know how to get around these problems?
