Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Simply Bash Script to Confirm that there are 2 Files in Same Folder Post 303027607 by gull04 on Thursday 20th of December 2018 07:45:27 AM

Hi,

I'll suggest that it's the way your search parameters are configured, as a simple example see below;

Code:
/-> touch a.txt A.txt
 /-> find / -name "[a,A].txt" -printf '%h\n'
/home/e434069
/home/e434069
 /-> find / -name a.txt -o -name A.txt -printf '%h\n'
/home/e434069
/->

As you can see there are implications for how you configure the find with the or option.

Regards

Gull04
