find without caring for cap or small letters

xpucto · 09-27-2006, 04:31 AM

Hi!

is there an option or a way to use the command find so that it looks for files no matter if it's written in captal letters or not.
so far I've been used this:

Quote:

find /home -name myfile.txt

but what if I also want to look for mYfile.txt and MyFile.txt.....?

I've looked in the manpages but couldn't find something.
thanks.

Code:

find /home -iname myfile.txt

It's in the man page of find

thanks.
I searched in the manpage with keywords such as "capital".

but iname doesn't work under solaris 10 though.

You can either install the GNU find from sunfreeware, or use something like:

Code:

ls -lR /home|grep -i myfile.txt
