I want to find a particular file is available in current folder or not.

ex : To find file starting with sel with extention fmb, In dos /windows - i will use dir sel*.fmb

Please tell me what is the linux command . I am using Putty to issue linux command

Hello,

Have a look at the man page for find:
The most basic format would be:
where <path> can be . (dot) for the current directory or an absolute or relative path and expression can be for example -name 'sel*.fmb'.

Kind regards,

Eric

find <foldername>/ -name "sel*.fmb"

hi
Thanks for your reply,

In ls command i can see the file 'selvam.fmb' on screen.
But when i am issuing this command
find . -name 'sel*.fmb'

Not getting any reply just getting the prompt only

Please help me

It is working now

Actually the problem was - i entered name in lower case , but actually it is in UPPER case

Thanks

Hi,

Great! If you consider your problem solved then please mark the thread as such. Have fun with Linux.

Kind regards,

Eric

Note that find also has a case-insensitive test, -iname.

Thank you ...
Will follow the Linux rules..
