manthasirisha,

Please note that we are not obligated to reply to your posts. Everyone on this forum has a job as a sysadmin, or a programmer or are students and are helping out on the forums in their free time.

You have already used the find command with the type predicate. Use the same command:
Code:
find . -type l -exec ls -l {} \;

This find will list all files that are soft (symbolic) links. Is this what you want?
