Linux command find usage confuse

I have a large directory of music files that is often changing as files and directories come and go.

I am trying to list all the files from dir1, dir2, dir3 and dir4 which might be anywhere in as a sub directory of my cwd using the find command. I tried the following with no success:

find . -type f -regextype posix-egrep -regex 'dir1/.+|dir2/.+|dir3/.+|dir4/.+'

I tried posix-extended as well. How can I list these files?

I am making a simple shell script which will minimize the time I spend in searching all directories under a parent directory and grep some things inside some files.

hi All,

I am using the command

Code: find /home/mqm/check/ -mtime +1|wc -l to get a count of the files older than a day under the check directory. But instead of getting the count of the files under check directory I m getting a count including the check directory itself.

Hi,

I want to know how to find the latest modified directory. I know that the command 'ls -rtl' gives the latest modified file/directory at the end.

But my specific requirement is: If I create two directories named dir1, dir2 in the same order. so now my latest modified directory is "dir2". Now inside each directories, I created a file.

Introduction If you wan to find files or directories, that were last modified in the last n days or just today, it is really easy to do in Linux. How to find files last modifies today Use the find command to do this find -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime 1

maxdepth: will tell find to only search in the current folder type: will tell find to only list files and not directories mtime: will tell find to on

I have a problem with a bash script. I have something like this:

find /home -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -not -empty -type d | sort

and the output is like :

/home/dir1 /home/dir2

I want the output to be :

dir1 dir2
