I tried ls -lf on a subdirectory of the main directory Music,. and got a huge list of files in 3 columns
The output is in unsorted order.
I then scanned the output for .WAV files ie reading Column 1 from top to bottom, then Column 2 and then Column 3 and it gives the same output as this find command run on the top level directory ..
So does the find command work like this ? It takes the input directory and goes through all sub directories and executes
and filters from that the files of the required type ( here in this case *.WAV)
However, I have another doubt, when I ran the find command on the top level Music Directory, the Music Directory had no *.WAV files in it , but only in the directories beneath it, thus it gave the desired output,. I expected a similar output when I go to the Hindi Music Directory, I thought that find would give me all the *.WAV files in that directory and directories beneath it.
But it just returns one line of the output and throws up and error !
