Question Usage find command
is there any way to search the file using find command, so that it searches for the file considering the file name as case in-sensitive

For example file name is AbcD.txt

but i'm not sure of the file name just remember it was abcd.txt

find / -name "abcd.txt" -print

how do we go bout the searching? Smilie

Some newer find implementations include "-iname" for case insensitive name searches.

Else; just use a glob
Code:
find /path -name "[Aa][Bb][Cc][Dd].txt" -print

Cheers
