find the string with "/"

I would like to use find command to find string in a directory .

the string with "/" , for example , find string in path with with the string "/ori/data"

what can I do ?


thanks

Do you mean you have some directory names with "/" inside?
If so, I think this is a really bad idea as slash character is already used for hierarchy/tree concept...

Please provide some path examples, those which should be found and those that are skipped, and also show us the command you have used to find what you are after?

Remember, this community is about assisting you to learn and not about doing the work for you.

Yes please provide some examples. However just to take a wild guess based on common tasks maybe you would be interested in the two utilities: dirname and basename.

$ basename /var/www/html/index.html 
index.html

$ dirname /var/www/html/index.html 
/var/www/html

As has been said, your question isn't very clear...have you studied the find man page?
To find a file named data in a directory name /ori

find /ori -name data

You don't need to reference the slash between ori and data in the command.
Is that what you mean?

Unless that is specifically what you want to search for, you should pick a different example.
