Im looking for 2 Files -> *.WAV and *.wav with
find . -name 'unavail.wav' -o -name 'unavail.WAV'
I need to list the Folders that contains these 2 Files?
Thx in advance
Maybe like this?
find . -iname 'unavail.wav' | tr A-Z a-z | sort | uniq -cd
That won't work as expected if there are folders that only differ in case too.
yeah, seems to working
XXX:[XXX]/voip/old # find . -name 'unavail.wav' -o -name 'unavail.WAV' | tr A-Z a-z | sort | uniq -cd
2 ./2309/unavail.wav
2 ./2315/unavail.wav
2 ./33010/unavail.wav
2 ./8336/unavail.wav
XXX:[XXX]/voicemail/voip/old #
thank you very much. otherwise i would have to check more then 600 folders manually.
Hi,
You could also use;
find . -name 'unavail.wav' -o -name 'unavail.WAV' -printf %h
This should print only directory names where matching files exist.

Should there be directories that differ in case only (the caveat that stomp mentioned, which is negligible with your numeric directories obviously), you could use
find . -iname 'unavail.wav' | rev | sort -t"/" -k2 | cut -d"/" -f2- | rev | uniq -cd
on the other hand, with a looong pipeline like that, you might be better off using e.g. awk .
this doesnt work for me. I find many folders but not those where both files (unavail.WAV & unawail.wav) were contained.

thx anyway
Hi,
Sorry, I assumed that you would have a bit more knowledge of find so for completeness;
find ./ -name 'unavail.wav' -o -name 'unavail.WAV' -printf '%#m %u %h\n'
Give that a try - you should read the find man page and adjust the required output on the printf option.

Hi Gull04,
I tested your variant with this...
stomp@box:~/tmp$ find a
a
a/a.wav
a/A.wav
stomp@box:~/tmp$ find ./ -name 'a.wav' -o -name 'A.wav' -printf '%h\n'
./a
stomp@box:~/tmp$
...and I'm wondering why I have only 1 result. I would expect 2 results, as I understand the command like this: "Search for a file name a.wav or A.wav and print the corresponding parent directory". So why only 1 result here?
hehe, no i dont use linux for almost 10 years now.
thx for your answer, but still same result:
XXX:[XXX]/voip/old # find ./ -name 'unavail.wav' -o -name 'unavail.WAV' -printf '%#m %u %h\n'

in none of the founded folders are both files together: unavail.wav & unavail.WAV.
just one of them exist in them:

so
find . -name 'unavail.wav' -o -name 'unavail.WAV' | tr A-Z a-z | sort | uniq -cd
worked fine
thx alot : )
Hi,
I'll suggest that it's the way your search parameters are configured, as a simple example see below;
/-> touch a.txt A.txt
/-> find / -name "[a,A].txt" -printf '%h\n'
/home/e434069
/home/e434069
/-> find / -name a.txt -o -name A.txt -printf '%h\n'
/home/e434069
/->
As you can see there are implications for how you configure the find with the or option.
Regards
Gull04
thank you very much. i will work on it =)
Hi,
You can change the find to;
find / -name "unavail.[W,w][A,a][V,v]" -printf '%#m %u %h\n'
A little bit messy maybe, I'm sure someone will know a better way of doing this.
Regards
Gull04
The reason for above single item output is "operator precedence". man find :
So above command reads find / -name a.txt -o \(-name A.txt -printf '%h\n' \) as (implied) -a precedes -o . Run
$ find \( -name a.txt -o -name A.txt \) -printf '%f\n'
A.txt
a.txt
to overcome the problem.
Thanks Rudi,
I finally understood this now, so I'm at last able to use that find ... -prune thing now after 25 years(was a great mystery to me)
