stuck with a simple find problem


hi,

need some simple find help.

i need to search for all .so files within sol directory.

my directory tree has mix of directories and i want to search only inside sol directory.


i could get this done combining find with for, any option to do this with find alone.

for a in `find . -type d -name solaris`; do ls $a/*.so 2>/dev/null; done;

it will find all .so files inside /path/sol till 1 level deep.

i have a case where there can be sol folders inside nth level of hierarchy.
eg.

/path/sol
a contains b contains sol

cd /path/sol
find . -name "*.so" | grep sol

find /path/sol | grep .so | grep 3

1) find /path/sol ----> would list all files in /path/sol
2) grep .so --> would list all files that end with .so
3) grep 3 --> would list all files (path) that contains "3"

i do not find any do loop or for loop in the line mentioned above.

i am using piping here.

find /path/sol | grep .so | grep 3
