Searching multiple directories and sub directories for a file

jeep99899 · 10-13-2005, 09:32 AM

I need to search for a specific file that may or may not be buried in a directory or 2 deep in sub directories. Is there a grep that will search that ddep into directories for a file? For instance the file name is:

1.2.826.0.1.3680043.2.133.1.3.1.7.25.7283.dcm

the directories are as deep as this:

/opt/XXXXXXX/archive/uv_dicom/dss/files/1180/204/539/(files are contained here)

Thanks for youor help.

have you tried slocate? (run "updatedb" as root first)

Another solution is :

find . -type f -name "1.2.826.0.1.3680043.2.133.1.3.1.7.25.7283.dcm"

this command will search into all the subdirectories from the current directory.
