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
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?
If I understand what you're trying to do correctly (run the file utility with the pathnames of all regular files in the file hierarchy rooted in the current directory whose final component filenames contain the string SQLite or the string XML), this should do what you want:

Thank you Don Cragun! No! this is not working. My posting was not clear! Mea culpa, sorry. In the backup folder of iPhone are only cryptic file names, and many of them like:
Code:
ls -lh | head
total 283624

my question is: how to connect the two commands to get at least following file informations:
size + type (SQLite or XML ...) and filename
To make a file filter to get only XML files, would be even better. I am unable to pass only the filenames through the pipe to
Code:
file
but keep all the informations of the preceding
Code:
ls
or
Code:
find
Is there a way to do it, or should I try with Perl?
