how to search a file as non-case sensitive

[Guna_2]

Dear all

As every one knows the find command is case sensitive.

But if i want to search a file and that command should not sense the case. then what should i do?

Is there any switches in find command or anthing else?

Thanx & Rgds,
Guna

hi Guna,

you may wish to pipe the output of the find to !

e.g.
find -name *.* |grep -i "search string"


hope this helps!

kind regards

Hi,

The best way:
$ find /path -type f -name '[Ff][Ii][Ll][Ee][Nn][Aa][Mm][Ee]' -print

Another way:
$ find /path -type f -print | grep -i '/filename$'

Hi Guna:

You can use Perl's Find module. For example:

# perl -MFile::Find -le 'find sub{-f && /^F\d+.*\z/is && print},"/tmp"'

In this case, we will look in the '/tmp' directory for (only) files ('-f') whose basename begins with the letter 'F', followed by one or more digits ('\d+') and zero or more characters thereafter ('.*}. The '^' and '\z' anchor this pattern so only files beginning with the letter 'F' are sought.

The 'find' is done case-insensitvely.

Regards!
