# find
|
|
|
|
> Find files or directories under a directory tree, recursively.
|
|
> More information: <https://manned.org/find>.
|
|
|
|
- Find files by extension:
|
|
|
|
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*.ext}}'`
|
|
|
|
- Find files matching multiple path/name patterns:
|
|
|
|
`find {{root_path}} -path '{{**/path/**/*.ext}}' -or -name '{{*pattern*}}'`
|
|
|
|
- Find directories matching a given name, in case-insensitive mode:
|
|
|
|
`find {{root_path}} -type d -iname '{{*lib*}}'`
|
|
|
|
- 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, limiting the recursive depth to "1":
|
|
|
|
`find {{root_path}} -maxdepth 1 -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 all files modified today and pass the results to a single command as arguments:
|
|
|
|
`find {{root_path}} -daystart -mtime {{-1}} -exec {{tar -cvf archive.tar}} {} \+`
|
|
|
|
- Find empty files (0 byte) or directories and delete them verbosely:
|
|
|
|
`find {{root_path}} -type {{f|d}} -empty -delete -print`
|
