"find": search the a regex of FILES??
I want to use the find command to search a ton of files, but I want to break it up into multiple machines. I want to search for files with "filename." in the title. The location I want to search is: Code:
/u/*/*/*/stuff On the first computer I want to search: Code:
/u/[a-i]/*/*/stuff Right now I am doing Code:
find /u/*/*/*/stuff -iregex "/u/[a-i]/.*filename\..*" -print >>~/Desktop/find This works correctly on the first machine, but for the second machine i will be searching [j-p] and in this case it will still search a-i first. I really want to do something like: Code:
find /u/[j-p]/*/*/stuff -iregex ".*filename\..*" -print >>~/Desktop/find Anyone know if/how I could do this? |

specify a list of directory names for find to look through Code:
find u/1/2/3 u/a/b/s u/2/3/4/5 -type f -name '*filename*' -exec ls -l {} \;the bracket [a-j] may not work on all unix machines. If you have a gigantic list of directories put all of the directory names into a file, call it dirnames: Code:
find $(awk '{printf(" %s ", $0)}' dirnames) -type f -exec ls -l {} \; |
