[SOLVED] How to find files under the current directory?

Assumed y directory structure looks as follow:

Code:

--root
  -- dir1
     -- dir1-1
  -- dir2
     -- dir2-1
        -- dir2-2

And under each sub dir there are some log files ended with .log.

Now I want to list all these log files. How to to that?

You can list the tree using

Quote:

tree dir

Quote:

ls -R dir

A rather non-complicated use of the `find` command will do precisely what you want. Something like:

Code:

find . -type f -name "*\.log"

Check `find` man page for loads of other options and things you can do with `find`.
