how to find file using wildcard?
 
:newbie:

Say, if i want to find files with word 'abc' in the name, how could I do?

I've tried find / -name %abd% but it seems not work...

take a look at this page

[edit]although i still think you should read the page, here's a quick answer to your question:

Code:
find / -name '*abc*' -print
or
Code:
find / -print | grep -i abc

The -print option is redundant with current versions of find.
