Looking for Files with Particular Names (Unix Power Tools, 3rd Edition)
9.4. Looking for Files with Particular Names
You
can look for particular files by using an expression with wildcards (Section 28.3) as an
argument to the -name operator. Because the
shell also interprets wildcards, it is necessary to quote them so
they are passed to find unchanged. Any kind of
quoting can be used:
% find . -name \*.o -print
% find . -name '*.o' -print
% find . -name "[a-zA-Z]*.o" -print
Any directory along the path to the file is not matched with the
-name operator, merely the name at the end of
the path. For example, the previous commands would not match the
pathname ./subdir.o/afile -- but they would
match ./subdir.o and
./src/subdir/prog.o.
Section 9.27 shows a way to match directories
in the middle of a path. Here's a simpler
"find file" alias that can come in
very handy:
alias ff "find . -name '*\!{*}*' -ls"
Give it a file or directory name; the alias will give a long listing
of any file or directory names that contain the argument. For
example:
% ff ch09
2796156 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 deb deb 628 Feb 2 10:41 ./oreilly/UPT/book/ch09.sgm
