I am using following command to find a specific file.
I am issuing that command at root directory since I don't know in which sub folder that file is getting created from some other process.
As I am not having access to all directories, my command dumping lot of error messages on console like " Can't access this directory.....!" etc. It is becoming very difficult to find the message where the file actually present from my command.
Is there any way that we can exclude/ignore access issues from find command result? Thank you..

Hello,
I know find can be prevented from recursing into directories with something like the following...

In COBOL, a hyphen can be used in a field name and in a specific program some field names would be identical to others except a suffix was added--sometimes a suffix to a suffix was used. For example, assume I am looking for AAA, AAA-BBB, and AAA-BBB-CCC and don't want to look at AAA-BBB-CCC... (7 Replies)

Hello,
I have some code that works more or less. This is called by a make file to adjust some hard-coded definitions in the src code.

findrule
FINDRULE(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation FINDRULE(1p)NAME
findrule - command line wrapper to File::Find::Rule
USAGE
findrule [path...] [expression]
DESCRIPTION
"findrule" mostly borrows the interface from GNU find(1) to provide a command-line interface onto the File::Find::Rule heirarchy of
modules.
The syntax for expressions is the rule name, preceded by a dash, followed by an optional argument. If the argument is an opening
parenthesis it is taken as a list of arguments, terminated by a closing parenthesis.
Some examples:
find -file -name ( foo bar )
files named "foo" or "bar", below the current directory.
find -file -name foo -bar
files named "foo", that have pubs (for this is what our ficticious "bar" clause specifies), below the current directory.
find -file -name ( -bar )
files named "-bar", below the current directory. In this case if we'd have omitted the parenthesis it would have parsed as a call to name
with no arguments, followed by a call to -bar.
Supported switches
I'm very slack. Please consult the File::Find::Rule manpage for now, and prepend - to the commands that you want.
Extra bonus switches
findrule automatically loads all of your installed File::Find::Rule::* extension modules, so check the documentation to see what those
would be.
