Question about Restricting Search path of FIND to current directory - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

super_duper_guy · #1 (**permalink**) 10-17-2005

Hi,

By default FIND command searches for matching files in all the subdirectories within the specified path.

Is there a way to restrict FIND command's search path to only the specified directory and NOT TO scan its subdirectories.

Any help would be more than appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
