Shell command
I am looking for shell command to find files starting with name and then list the path for file

For example: I want to seach all files which are starting with RET or LSH or PDM and the list the full path name

Please help


Code:
foreach rpt_file ( ` ls ${xyz/*.rpt ` )
             if ( -e $rpt_file ) then
                  echo $rpt_file
                  echo " ### "
                  set filename = ` echo $rpt_file | sed "s/^.*(RET LSH PDM PSW )\///g"  `
                  echo $filename 
                  set cpath = ` echo $rpt_file | sed "s/\(^.*(RET LSH PDM PSW )\)\(\/.*\)/\1/g"  `
                  echo $cpath

Thanks balajesuri .It gives the file names as expected.
If I want file name with full path what would be your suggestion ?

I'm a bit surprised that find should print filenames only; usually it prints the entire path. To get to the filename fullpath output, use -printf "%f %h\n"
