Here is my problem..
1. I want to search all those files with file name starting AJ128****
(in all the sub directories also)
2. I want to search for the follwoing type of string
line beging with string - 'AK*any_1_char*any_2_char*510'
3. I need to display list of file names
4. I need to display total number of files that have the above string

Thanks for the help in advance. I am using sun solaris.

check the options of find commands to know more details

This will search the given string in all files present in current directory

-h option shows filename on every line. To show only filenames where match is found, use:

Yogesh.. Thanks for the reply..

any_1_char mean = > it can be Y or N or 1 etc
any_2_char means => it can be 18, 21, 01.. etc

So for the follwing 'AK*any_1_char*any_2_char*510', I am using regular expression. Like below.

find . -name AJ128\* -exec /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -il -E 'AK\*N\**\*510' {} \; | wc -l

But it was not working.

1. And I want to retrieve all file names with all the conditions
2. And I want to retrieve total no of files with all the conditions

Thanks for the help..
