Multiple conditions in find or ls stmts
I'm looking for syntax to include two search patterns in a find or ls command. e.g.

find BTIME_ACTUAL_HRS* OR BTIME_SCHEDULED_HRS*

Both commands take multiple search parameters, although the find is a little funky:

ls BTIME_ACTUAL_HRS* BTIME_SCHEDULED_HRS*

find . -name 'BTIME_ACTUAL_HRS*' -print -o -name 'BTIME_SCHEDULED_HRS*' -print

Thanks a bunch.. ANy way to get read of the ./ in the list when using the find command?

./BTIME_ACTUAL_WORK_HRS_wk_45_to_46.csv
./BTIME_SCHEDULED_WORK_HRS_weeks_45_46.csv

Unless you're trying to create a nice looking report, there isn't any need to.

'dot slash' means the current directory.

If you insist, then use this:

find . -name 'BTIME_ACTUAL_HRS*' -print -o -name 'BTIME_SCHEDULED_HRS*' -print | cut -c3-

Note that the find works recursively. Therefore if you have a qualifying file in a subdirectory, THAT directory name will be included.
