Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to search through directories and sub dir Post 302362783 by new2C on Saturday 17th of October 2009 03:03:22 PM
Old 10-17-2009
How would I do it without using recursion but rather the directory stack (i.e. pushd and popd)

My psuedo code would be something like

Get reg exp or file name
search current dir against the reg exp, print # of files and path names of matching files
change dir and search new dir against reg exp print # of files and path names of matching files
change dir, etc

I'm just having some trouble figuring out how to get from one dir to another...i know there's cd but I won't always know the names of the directories at run time right?
