Create 'tree' output from list of files

Question

I have a large list of directories and filenames in the format

drwxr-sr-x hamiltont/hamiltont 0 2015年03月11日 23:54 Archive/Directory One/Subdir/
-rw-r--r-- hamiltont/hamiltont 21799 2014年01月10日 12:52 Archive/Directory One/Subdir/file2.txt
-rw-r--r-- hamiltont/hamiltont 21799 2014年01月10日 12:52 Archive/Directory One/Subdir/file3.txt
-rw-r--r-- hamiltont/hamiltont 21799 2014年01月10日 12:52 Archive/Directory One/Subdir Two/somefile.txt
-rw-r--r-- hamiltont/hamiltont 21799 2014年01月10日 12:52 Archive/Directory Two/Subdir Something/somefile.txt
-rw-r--r-- hamiltont/hamiltont 21799 2014年01月10日 12:52 Archive/Directory Other/Subdir/somefile.txt

And would like to create the standard tree output. Specifically, only showing directories and only down to level 3 e.g. tree -L 3 -d:

├── Directory\ One
│  ├── Subdir
├── Directory\ Two
│  ├── Subdir
│  ├── Subdir\ Something
│  └── Subdir\ Two
├── Directory\ Other
│  └── Subdir

I can accomplish this with a decently-complex bash script, but I'm suspecting there is an easier way

Answer 1

This wasn't available back then but as of Version 1.8.0 (11/16/2018) tree has a --fromfile option: "Reads a directory listing from a file rather than the file-system."
So, if you properly format your sample infile like

Archive/Directory One/Subdir/
Archive/Directory One/Subdir/file2.txt
Archive/Directory One/Subdir/file3.txt
Archive/Directory One/Subdir Two/somefile.txt
Archive/Directory Two/Subdir Something/somefile.txt
Archive/Directory Other/Subdir/somefile.txt

then you can run

tree --fromfile infile

infile
└── Archive
 ├── Directory One
 │  ├── Subdir
 │  │  ├── file2.txt
 │  │  └── file3.txt
 │  └── Subdir Two
 │  └── somefile.txt
 ├── Directory Other
 │  └── Subdir
 │  └── somefile.txt
 └── Directory Two
 └── Subdir Something
 └── somefile.txt
8 directories, 5 files

To only show directories and only down to level 3:

tree -L 3 -d --fromfile infile

infile
└── Archive
 ├── Directory One
 │  ├── Subdir
 │  └── Subdir Two
 ├── Directory Other
 │  └── Subdir
 └── Directory Two
 └── Subdir Something
8 directories

• Bastian: Being able to only show a limited number of levels with --fromfile would be great, but my tree version 1.8.0 simply ignores the -L option when using the --fromfile option. So your last example is not valid, imo.

Answer 2

Here's my own answer, but probably improvable:

# Find all lines with directories
# Remove all ls output before the path is listed
# Recreate the directory tree
grep '^d' archive_filelist.txt | sed 's|.*Archive\(.*\)|\"Archive1円\"|' | xargs mkdir -p
# Use tree as you would normally
tree -L 2 -d Archive

The directory list is a huge archive (200+ GB) so this approach takes a while
