Hi friends..
I am using the below command to search few files from many folders which is under one folder..

i mean let say the path is A/B/C...and inside C...i have 1-10 folder...

the below command is working fine....

for i in 1 3 5 7; do
find /A/B/C/${i} -name ".txt" -o -name ".csv" -o -name ".TXT" -o -name ".dat" |xargs ls -ltr |awk '{print $8 ,$9}' >> ${i}.txt
done

this will give me the result from the folder 1 3 5 7 ,from 1-10 which is inside A/B/C[/b] and print the file having the above extension into 1.txt , 3.txt , 5.txt , 7.txt etc inside /A/B/C

Help needed..

i need some help so that my syntax will search the file only from folder 1,3,5,7 from the 10 folder A/B/C and the out put from these 4 folder will be display in the single file i.e result.txt....not in different folder.

the above 1,3,5,7 folders are inside A/B/C

Not sure what you mean. Is something like this what you are looking for?

rm -f result.txt
for i in 1 3 5 7; do
find /A/B/C/${i} ! -path /A/B/C/${i} -prune -name ".txt" -o -name ".csv" -o -name ".TXT" -o -name ".dat" |xargs ls -ltr |awk '{print $8 ,$9}' >> result.txt
done

How many times are you going to post the same question???

You will get less help from the community because of this.. Either abide by the rules or leave!
