HELP! I want to locate only dir and tar.gz
I making a script to restore apache from a configuration_backup tar.

For now i want at the beginning of the script that you can make a choice to choose one of the configuration_backup tars.

I use this code now:
Code:
`locate /restore/configuration/configuration_backup*`

But if i use this i get all the files that are in the backup tars. Like 600 files.

I only want to show this:
Code:

You only want to show the directories? In that case you can use
Code:
find /restore/configuration/ -name configuration_backup* -type d
