I have been trying to understand how the 'find' command lists the search results. I have a list of songs in different file formats (mp3, wav, aac etc) in a huge directory hierarchy organized by genre and am trying to get the list of all songs of a particular format.
I found ls -R command to be of no use, here (very surprisingly) and so tried the above set of commands
Cd to the top level 'Music' Directory first and then find command as follows:-
I expected the results to be displayed in alphabetical order and accordingly the first few entries came like this :
Then suddenly in another directory, a very strange thing happened. It started displaying the result in a radom order (or so it appears)
How can a filename starting with the letter D come "after" the filename starting with letter N. So if its not alphabetical order, then what is it ? I am at a loss to understand this .

file::find::rule::procedural
File::Find::Rule::Procedural(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Find::Rule::Procedural(3)NAME
File::Find::Rule::Procedural - File::Find::Rule's procedural interface
SYNOPSIS
use File::Find::Rule;
# find all .pm files, procedurally
my @files = find(file => name => '*.pm', in => @INC);
DESCRIPTION
In addition to the regular object-oriented interface, File::Find::Rule provides two subroutines for you to use.
"find( @clauses )"
"rule( @clauses )"
"find" and "rule" can be used to invoke any methods available to the OO version. "rule" is a synonym for "find"
Passing more than one value to a clause is done with an anonymous array:
my $finder = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ] );
"find" and "rule" both return a File::Find::Rule instance, unless one of the arguments is "in", in which case it returns a list of things
that match the rule.
my @files = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ], in => $ENV{HOME} );
Please note that "in" will be the last clause evaluated, and so this code will search for mp3s regardless of size.
my @files = find( name => '*.mp3', in => $ENV{HOME}, size => '<2k' );
^
|
Clause processing stopped here ------/
It is also possible to invert a single rule by prefixing it with "!" like so:
# large files that aren't videos
my @files = find( file =>
'!name' => [ '*.avi', '*.mov' ],
size => '>20M',
in => $ENV{HOME} );
