Have absolute path for files in different dirs
Hi everybody.
I need a command to print the absolute path of files which name starts always with a pattern (MOD03), independently on where they are in the filesystem.
I have tryed
Code:
ls -ld ${INPUTPREFIX}/*/*/* | grep MOD03 | awk '{ print $8 }'

but I have to use "/*/*/*" in this case to have the needed output: if the directory structure is different, this command fails.
I have also tryed with
Code:
find /my/path/* -type f -name MOD03*

but I dont' know how to make it recursive in a way to check every subdirectory.
Can anyone help me?

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
