Performing a non-recursive find in Unix
I need to perform a non-recursive find in Unix. Sounds simple, but it doesn't actually work. The command ALWAYS searches through the subdirectories.
Any ideas? I am on DEC Unix :-( |

No Problem !! Take it easyyy
Ur problem is that U had not gone the man pages of find
Please make sure U read the help pages of find . Acctually find ->> utility recursively descends the directory hierarchy for each path seeking files that match...... so please checkout with UNIX man pages and try it it would fun if U could use grep or fgrep with find .... Please try it and reply

The xdev option will work only if all of his subdirectories are mount points. Not exactly a general solution.
If want to keep find in one directory, replace find dir ... with: find dir \( ! -name dir -prune \) ... So find . -type d -print will list each subdirectory all the way down your directory structure. But: find . \( ! -name dir -prune \) -type d -print will list only the subdirectories in the current directory. |
