* find: various improvements The information content of the page should be unchanged, but hopefully it's now easier to read (and respects our length recommendations of 8 maximum examples). The changes include: - Make the `-mtime` example more intuitive, so it only needs to be shown once, and combine the `-delete` option with the first (now only) `-mtime` example (thus reducing the page size back to 8 examples) - Fix a comma splice in the `-exec` example, and a missing "a" in the `-path` example - Reorder the examples to provide a more consistent and intuitive sequence (e.g. by introducing `-iname` in an earlier example, and moving the `-exec` command down) * clarify -size example description

# find
|
|
|
|
> Find files or directories under the given directory tree, recursively.
|
|
|
|
- Find files by extension:
|
|
|
|
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*.ext}}'`
|
|
|
|
- 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:
|
|
|
|
`find {{root_path}} -type d -iname {{*lib*}}`
|
|
|
|
- Find files matching a path pattern:
|
|
|
|
`find {{root_path}} -path '{{**/lib/**/*.ext}}'`
|
|
|
|
- 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:
|
|
|
|
`find {{root_path}} -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 files modified in the last 7 days, and delete them:
|
|
|
|
`find {{root_path}} -mtime {{-7}} -delete`
|
