Hi I don't know whether this is a design intent or a bug. When I tried to list recursively a specified file, ls only searched the current directory for the file, not recursively. For example, ls -R myFile* displays only files with myFile pattern residing in the current working directory but not those in the sub-directories. All I want to do is to look for files with certain pattern throughout all sub-directories and the paths those files are located. ls -R | grep myFile* works great but it doesn't give me the path of those files. Is there a easy way to do it? Thanks Henry
