Exercises in Terminal
1. Use the find command to search for files, whose name ends with dat, in your home directory.
Answer:
The complete command is find $HOME -type f -name "*dat"
find can be used to search files and directories.
$HOME is your home directory.
-type f means only file (not directory) will be shown.
-name "*dat" specifies the required filename and "*dat" restricts the filename ends with dat, while it can begin with any characters (the * wild cards).
2. Use the find command to search for directories, whose name begins with test and ends with _dir, in your home directory.
Answer:
The complete command is find $HOME -type d -name "test*_dir"
find can be used to search files and directories.
$HOME is your home directory.
-type d means only directory (not file) will be shown.
-name "test*_dir" specifies the required directory name, which begins with test and ends with _dir. The wild card * matches any characters in between.
