Hi friends..
I am using the below command to search few files from many folders which is under one folder..

i mean let say the path is A/B/C...and inside C...i have 1-10 folder...

the below command is working fine....

for i in 1 3 5 7; do
find /A/B/C/${i} -name "*.txt" -o -name "*.csv" -o -name "*.TXT" -o -name "*.dat" |xargs ls -ltr |awk '{print $8 ,$9}' >> ${i}.txt
done

this will give me the result from the folder 1 3 5 7 ,from 1-10 which is inside A/B/C[/b] and print the file having the above extension into 1.txt , 3.txt , 5.txt , 7.txt etc inside /A/B/C

Help needed..

i need some help so that my syntax will search the file only from folder 1,3,5,7 from the 10 folder A/B/C and the out put from these 4 folder will be display in the single file i.e result.txt....not in different folder.

the above 1,3,5,7 folders are inside A/B/C

Not sure what you mean. Is something like this what you are looking for?


rm -f result.txt
for i in 1 3 5 7; do
find /A/B/C/${i} ! -path /A/B/C/${i} -prune -name "*.txt" -o -name "*.csv" -o -name "*.TXT" -o -name "*.dat" |xargs ls -ltr |awk '{print $8 ,$9}' >> result.txt
done
