Finding files: globbing, wildcards, command FIND

 To find a file you don't know entirely the name, you do

GLOBBING USING WILDCARDS:

?
Matches any single character

*
Matches any string of characters

[set]
Matches any character in the set of characters, eg [adf] matches any occurrence of a, d, or f

[!set]
Matches any character not in the set of characters

[character1-character2]
Matches any character included in the range (numbers or letters)

[!character1-character2]
Matches any character not included in the range (numbers or letters)


COMMAND: FIND

find -name "*.swp" -exec rm {} ’;’

  • {} is a placeholder. This means that it represents in the command all the results of the search. The results need {} to be virtually represented in the command.
  • ; The semicolon at the end closes each iteration. Therefore, it's related to the iterations, not to the command itself. It can be replaced by \; and +
  • -exec can be replaced by -ok to prompt the permission to execute the command
