Grep with parent folder
Hi, When I do Code:
ls -l | grep -h STRING I need not only to get those files, but also the parent folder of those files, no idea how do that. BTW the names of those parent folders are never longer than 3 digits, if that helps. Any assistance most welcome, /bw, OmarKN

Sure, here are the files without their parent folders: i Code:
3: okn$ ls | grep -h _i _i-lklist.txt _img _img2 compig_i.html compst_i.html It's the parent folders which I 'd also like to be listed, :-) bw, Omar KN

Code:
find /absolute/path/ -type f -name "*_i*" | while read filename do echo "Parent Folder : $(dirname $filename)" done |

Well this is not bad, I copied it and outcome was: Code:
i3:chello uppd_G5 okn$ find . -type f -name "*_i*" | while read filename; do echo "Parent Folder : $(dirname $filename)"; done Parent Folder : . Parent Folder : ./k Parent Folder : ./k Parent Folder : ./k Parent Folder : ./n Parent Folder : ./naw Parent Folder : ./o Which gives the Parent Folders of those files, but not the file-names themselves, so I don't know in which Parent Folder XY-file is. Is there not a way with grep? Thank you, bw, OmarKN

Code:
find /absolute/path/ -type f -name "*_i*" | while read filename do echo "File Name : $(basename $filename)" echo "Parent Folder : $(dirname $filename)" done absolute path --- give the path from / ( root ) |

Nope, sorry: Code:
i3:/ okn$ find /Volumes/main_HD/Users/omarkn/Sites/chello\ uppd_G5 -type f -name "*_i*" | while read filename; do echo "Parent Folder : $(dirname $filename)"; done usage: dirname path Parent Folder : usage: dirname path Parent Folder : usage: dirname path Parent Folder : ... ... And so on, this is from root... bw, OmarKN
