Hi.

Is there a way to search for a file or group of files. Can we include sub
directory searches?

Thanks

How about this:

find -type f -name “”

Is that what you’re looking for?

One way is use to ls.

ls –Rp gives a listing of files with their paths, goes into sub-dirs
too.

You can then either do:
ls –Rp | grep name_to_search_for
Or :
ls –Rp > temp.txt
Then edit temp.txt and search for text, handy if you’re looking for
multiple names.
