Doesn't sound particularly urgent to me.

Unless, of course, you didn't get around to doing your homework over the weekend and now you have to hand it in soon?

I have worked over they weekend but didnt find any thing.I am realy try hard but not luck.

Then what you need to do is present the code you have constructed, thus showing what you have done, and ask what is wrong with it or how it might be improved.

You do this to show people here that you ARE putting in the effort and just haven't figured something out. You do that and someone is probably going to step forward and help you.

When you simply say (as you have) that you want someone to do your homework for you, no one at all will lift a finger.

edit: In the find statement you provided, you specified that you were looking for directories. Directories are what you are getting. What else would you expect?

LOL, piece it together:

You've got the directories you need, now all you need to do is get the contents of the directories('ls') and grep for what you're looking for.

p.s. Working all weekend should have gotten you much further than this. Have you read your textbook? Lots of times teachers will draw on examples from textbooks to formulate their questions.

edit: after seing jiml8's post, i second that

What have you tried? What errors have you gotten?

This does seem alot like homework to me, too. Try to Google for a solution....I found a three scripts and numerous commands on the first page of results alone.

Thx TB0ne this not home work i have similar script in php but my boss want in bash,and i am not sound in bash,i have problem that when find command return result i store in a variable,but there are many dir in that variable i dont seem to got any idea how to process each dir to find file that have extension like php cgi etc.

Well, guys, have fun. You can answer him if you wish, but I'll point out that my first post said "homework" and his response implicitly agreed because he had worked hard on it over the weekend. But now it is something for his job and his boss wants it in bash rather than php.

And he still has not provided code samples other than the find statement. The PHP code could provide all kinds of valuable clues. LOL.

You can believe him if you want to; I certainly don't believe him.

Hasta la bye-bye to this thread.

Re-read my first post. If you google for this, you'll find lots of results. If this is for your work, you can tell your boss you don't know bash, and they'll give it to someone else, or give you time to work on it.

As before, we've asked to see what YOU'VE ALREADY DONE, and you haven't provided it. Go look up the answer, or find one of the thousands of bash tutorials that are available on the web. If you're an experienced PHP programmer, you shouldn't have problems with a very simple task in a scripting language.

thx TB0ne find very usefull thing like i tell u and i have time to make this script,time dont matter but,let me tell you what i have find,But i must say people in this forum are not professionals,expect you.thx any way to all.

and this how it look before

#!/bin/bash


Docroot[0]="/var/www/html/"

export IFS=$'\n'

# Loop through our array.
for x in ${Docroot[@]}
do
# Find all directories & subdirectories
for i in $(find $x -type d -perm 777 )
do

echo $i

done

# Find all Files
for i in $(find $x -type f -perm 777 -name "*.php")
do

echo $i
done
done
