Find or ls with pipe to the command file
Hello all!


I am trying to find the "Notes" backup from my iPhone in my folder ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup/[UDID] which used to be in the sqlite file ca3bc056d4da0bbf88b5fb3be254f3b7147e639c. But since an update of the MacOS it is still there, but not updated anymore. (This is off topic, but probably somebody knows the right answer?)

My question: I would like to connect the commands find/ls -l with a pipe to file to get the following information of all files with size an type together (here an example for the old backup filename of Notes:

Code:
find . -type f -name "ca3*" -ls -print
12954433     2632 -rw-r--r--    1 mstep            staff             1347584  8 Mai 12:17 ./ca3bc056d4da0bbf88b5fb3be254f3b7147e639c

with

Code:
file ca3*
ca3bc056d4da0bbf88b5fb3be254f3b7147e639c: SQLite 3.x database

And this of course for all files of my iPhone-Backup. Fantastic would be, if a filter for a keyword like SQLite or XML would be possible, to get only these files. Is this possible?

I would be very grateful for any help

gpodder-backup

GPODDER-BACKUP(1)						   User Commands						 GPODDER-BACKUP(1)

NAME

       gpodder-backup - Backup and restore utility for gPodder user data

SYNOPSIS

       gpodder-backup [--create|--extract] <archive.gpo.tar.gz> [options] gpodder-backup --purge

DESCRIPTION

       This utility can be used to create a dump of the current gPodder data (configuration files + downloads), optionally replacing the real con-
       tents of the download folder with zero-byte files (for submitting your data to a bug report without having to transfer lots of data).

OPTIONS

       --version
	      show program's version number and exit

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       -c <FILE>, --create=<FILE>
	      Create a new archive

       -x <FILE>, --extract=<FILE>
	      Extract an existing archive

       -f, --fake-downloads
	      Store downloads as zero-byte files in backup

       -n, --no-covers
	      Do not include cover files in archive

       -D <DIR>, --destination=<DIR>
	      Extract downloads in different folder

       -P, --purge
	      Remove current data (can be combined with --extract)

USAGE FOR BUG REPORTING

       This command is useful if you want to report a bug in gPodder:

       gpodder-backup --create bug123.gpo.tar.gz --fake-downloads
	      Backup your current data to file bug123.gpo.tar.gz, but don't store download data (create zero-size dummy files  instead).  You  can
	      then attach bug123.gpo.tar.gz to the bug report.

       If you are instructed to try gPodder from a "clean state", you can use the following command (be sure to backup your data before!):

       gpodder-backup --purge
	      Remove all gPodder data, so you can start from a clean state

EXAMPLES

       gpodder-backup --create today.gpo.tar.gz
	      Backup your current data to file today.gpo.tar.gz

       gpodder-backup --extract mybackup.gpo.tar.gz
	      Restore (without purging) the contents of mybackup.gpo.tar.gz

       gpodder-backup --extract default.gpo.tar.gz --purge
	      Remove current data, then restore the contents of default.gpo.tar.gz

       gpodder-backup --purge
	      Remove all gPodder data, so you can start from a clean state

EXTRACTING FAKED DOWNLOADS

       Please  note  that  any	existing  downloads will be overwritten with zero-byte files when using the --extract option of the gpodder-backup
       utility with a backup created with --fake-downloads
