reading filename in nested directories

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,
I have some directory structure as

$ls -ltr
drwxr-xr-x 1 mscprod us_msc 512 May 10 08:34 650
drwxr-xr-x 1 mscprod us_msc 512 May 10 08:51 652
drwxr-xr-x 1 mscprod us_msc 512 May 10 08:51 640
drwxr-xr-x 1 mscprod us_msc512 May 10 09:13 654
$ cd 650/
$ls
fileabc.root

and within each directory has some file with extension *root.

I want to have all this information in a txt file in the given form

/complete path till 650/file1.root
/complete path till 652/file2.root

and so on for all directories.

Thanks in advance

find /path -iname "*root"

perfect, thanks a lot :b::b:

A slight improvement

find /path -name "*.root"

Hi,
both command seems to serve the purpose. Then what is the difference?

Thanks

1) *.root means any string ending with "root" after "."
2) "*root" means any string ending with "root"

create 2 files a) abcroot and b) abc.root
and note the difference in both commands

Hi,
Thanks aahish,
But that I know. I was asking for the difference in "iname" and "name".

-iname does a case insensitive match. So, rOOt, ROOT, Root...will all be matched

The man find from the terminal will give you all the options.
