Finding files by specific extension
suggest changeTo find all the files of a certain extension within the current path you can use the following find
syntax. It works by making use of bash's
built-in glob
construct to match all the names having the .extension
.
find /directory/to/search -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.extension"
To find all files of type .txt
from the current directory alone, do
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.txt"
Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
