This is a homework question! Has to be, why wouldnt you want to use the find command? By the book: Unix In A NutShell By O'Reilly. Great tool to have, seek your answer there. Or search the man pages using apropos or man -k

I must agree with google, when you intentionally ignore an obvious solution to your problem, you make this seem like it might be homework. Posting a homework question is against our rules.

Why do you need to find a file without using the find command?
