Error find problem
Code:
for index in `find /root -name *.jar | grep "/lib"`; do echo "$index"; done

sometimes its throwing error saying

find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]

Code:
for index in `find /technologies -name '*.jar' | grep "/lib"`
do
echo "$index"
done

but still it throwing
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]
