To search for files in a directory hierarchy (tree) you need to use find command. To find out file called data.txt in your home directory type command:
Code:
find data.txt find $HOME -name data.txt http://www.cyberciti.biz/nixcraft/vi...with-find.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/nixcraft/vi...h-find_23.html
