# find
> Find files or directories under the given directory tree, recursively.
- Find files by extension:
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*.ext}}'`
- Find files by matching multiple patterns:
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*pattern_1*}}' -or -name '{{*pattern_2*}}'`
- Find directories matching a given name, in case-insensitive mode:
`find {{root_path}} -type d -iname {{*lib*}}`
- Find files matching a path pattern:
`find {{root_path}} -path '{{**/lib/**/*.ext}}'`
- Find files matching a given pattern, excluding specific paths:
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*.py}}' -not -path '{{*/site-packages/*}}'`
- Find files matching a given size range:
`find {{root_path}} -size {{+500k}} -size {{-10M}}`
- Run a command for each file (use `{}` within the command to access the filename):
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*.ext}}' -exec {{wc -l {} }}\;`
- Find files modified in the last 7 days, and delete them:
`find {{root_path}} -mtime {{-7}} -delete`
