# find
> Find files under the given directory tree, recursively.
- Find files by extension:
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*.ext}}'`
- Find files matching path pattern:
`find {{root_path}} -path '{{**/lib/**/*.ext}}'`
- 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 since a certain time:
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{}}' -mtime {{-1}}`
- Find files using case insensitive name matching, of a certain size:
`find {{root_path}} -size +500k -size -10MB -iname '{{*.TaR.gZ}}'`
- Delete files by name, older than a certain number of days:
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*.ext}}' -mtime {{-180}} -delete`
- Find files matching more than one search criteria:
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*.py}}' -or -name '{{*.r}}'`
- Find files matching path pattern while excluding some certain path:
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*.py}}' -not -path '{{*/site-packages/*}}'`
