Full Discussion: Look for distinct files under a directory matching a pattern
Operating Systems Solaris Look for distinct files under a directory matching a pattern Post 302461784 by anthonyvbyrne on Tuesday 12th of October 2010 08:32:54 AM

Are you looking for files that contain 'java' or files called 'java' ?

If you are looking for a file that contains the string 'Java' is it preceeded or followed by a 'space' or a 'nl'

If you are trying to match 'java' and it comes back with 'java23' and/or 'javaxyx', both of those are a valid match.

if you are lookinf for a file name use 'find -name java'

statcvs

STATCVS(1)						      General Commands Manual							STATCVS(1)

NAME

       statcvs - CVS Repository statistic analysis tool, written in Java

SYNOPSIS

       cvs log > cvs-logfile.log

       statcvs [ options ] path/to/cvs-logfile.log path/to/checkout

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the statcvs command.	This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original pro-
       gram does not have a manual page.

       statcvs is a program that retrieves information from a CVS repository and generates various tables and charts describing the project devel-
       opment, e.g. timeline for the lines of code, contribution of each developer etc.
       The  current  version  of  StatCvs  generates a static suite of HTML documents containing tables and chart images.  StatCvs is opens source
       software, released under the terms oft the LGPL.
       StatCvs uses JFreeChart to generate charts.

       cvs-logfile.log
	      path to the cvs logfile of the module.  Important note: statcvs will fail if the log file was not produced with cvs from within  the
	      checkout. It however does not matter if the file is not in the directory you're running statcvs from.

       path/to/checkout
	      path to the directory of the checked out module

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual command line syntax, with long options starting with one dashe ("-").  A list of options is included below.
       For a complete description, run the program without parameters

       -version
	      print the version information and exit

       -output-dir <dir>
	      directory where HTML suite will be saved

       -include <pattern>
	      include only files matching pattern, e.g. **/*.c;**/*.h

       -exclude <pattern>
	      exclude matching files, e.g. tests/**;docs/**

       -title <title>
	      Project title to be used in reports

       -viewcvs <url>
	      integrate with ViewCVS installation at <url>

       -verbose
	      print extra progress information

JAVA-WRAPPERS NOTE
       This program is a shell script wrapper based on java-wrappers(7).  You therefore benefit from several features; please see  the	java-wrap-
       pers(7) manual page.
