I try to write a shell script that would list all files on a directory and stop when it finds the first item specified on a find or ls command.
How can I tell to the find or ls command to stop when it finds the first ".doc" file for example ?
thank you rakeshawasthi it works
but how can I make the script goes through subdirectories ?
I've tried this, but all the files comes into the "i" variable, so the script doesnt work :
IFS=
for i in $(find . -type f | awk -F"/" ' { print $2 } ' )
do
if [[ `basename "$i" .chm` != "$i" ]]; then
exit
fi
echo $i
done
it seems all the comand lines you give me are not working
I found this on a linux machine : -quit parameter for find.
This is the result I'd like to get :
