# find
2018-08-26 10:19:15 +05:30
> Find files or directories under the given directory tree, recursively.
2013-12-11 21:23:59 +11:00
- Find files by extension:
2013-12-11 21:23:59 +11:00
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*.ext}}'`
2013-12-11 21:23:59 +11:00
- 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:
2018-08-26 10:19:15 +05:30
`find {{root_path}} -type d -iname '{{*lib*}}'`
2018-08-26 10:19:15 +05:30
- Find files matching a path pattern:
2015-12-28 18:06:08 +00:00
`find {{root_path}} -path '{{**/lib/**/*.ext}}'`
2015-12-28 18:06:08 +00:00
- Find files matching a given pattern, excluding specific paths:
2015-12-28 17:43:58 +08:00
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*.py}}' -not -path '{{*/site-packages/*}}'`
- Find files matching a given size range:
`find {{root_path}} -size {{+500k}} -size {{-10M}}`
2015-12-27 11:22:17 +05:30
- Run a command for each file (use `{}` within the command to access the filename):
2015-12-27 11:22:17 +05:30
`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`
