Format(s)
Code:
find . -name abc.lvc.* -print Will find files from you current directory and all sub-directories beneath it. Code:
find / -name abc.lvc.* -print Will search the entire system for the files. Will take a while, and you may see errors that you do not have access to view directories. Last edited by joeyg; 12-09-2008 at 12:06 PM.. |

In unix but not Windows a fullstop can mean any character or characters. It needs to be escaped with a preceding back solidus. Also you want asterisk expanded by find and not by shell.
If directories are linked at root level you will need "//" rather than "/". find // -name abc\.lvc\.\* -print |
