The output from the command:
Code:
find . -name "v.info"

can't ever be the output you showed us above. Any output from this command would have every line start with ./; not with /o.

You said you wanted v.info listed only once and then show us that you want it listed twice. How did you decide which two of the four lines reported by find should be listed as your single line of output???

sorry my mistake I men't find /o

but my requirement is i want v.info to be displayed only once, if it is found in subdirectories then it can be ignored.

Code:
/o/a/b/c/v.info
/o/a/b/c/d/v.info
/o/aa/bb/cc/v.info
/o/aa/bb/cc/dd/v.info

for ex in above v.info is found under c directory as well as under d directory, So once it is found in c directory it should not display under d directory

You might want to filter the find result like this:
Code:
find ... | while read i; do for j in ${P[@]}; do [ "$i" != "${i#$j}" ] && continue 2; done; echo $i; P[((++CNT))]=${i%/*}; done
/o/a/b/c/v.info
/o/aa/bb/cc/v.info
