What are you searching for? A filename or property?

find path -name "*foo*"

Of contents of files?

find path -exec fgrep bar {} +

Hi Dennis ,

Am trying to search a particular directory from /a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/001/20090131
/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/002/20090229
like this to 600 ( i.e form 001 - 600 )

>/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/002/20090229 like this to 600 (i.e. from 001 - 600)

Again, are you search for filenames or file contents?

If in /a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/, you have lots more than all files with ???, you can try [0-6][0-9[0-9].

Hi Dennis ,

Let me make it clear ,

We have the folllowing direcrory structure ,

/ftp/gb/B2/kv/cations/001 t0 650 clients

Now i need to find ONLY all month end directories with its contents i.e

/ftp/gb/B2/kv/cations/001/reports/20090131

/ftp/gb/B2/kv/cations/650/reports/20091231

/ftp/gb/B2/kv/cations/001/reports/20090131

/ftp/gb/B2/kv/cations/650/reports/20091231

Then you can just use nested Composite patterns:

ls /ftp/gb/B2/kv/cations/*/reports/?(??????31|?????(04|06|09|11)30|????0228)

(In leap years you would have a problem with 0229.)

Or you can toss this pattern stuff and use awk to find the last entry for each month.

Hi Dennis ,

When i ran the ls comand , my all branches after locations / * got merged into one common folder for ex: the directories that got created are 20090131,20090229,20090331 etc.

I want it tobe like 001/reports/20090131

002/reports/20090229

till 650/reports/20091130

I'm confused. The ls(1) command just lists what's there and attempts to pick the last day in the month.
