After running find command for a file i get
./db_app/crm_ace_sync/billing_recovery/ace/cfg/tx_update_address.ctl

but i want to store in a variable address starting from crm_ace_sync i.e

path =/crm_ace_sync/billing_recovery/ace/cfg.

if i go inside db_app and run
for i in `cat ../filelist.txt`
do
path=`find . -name $i|awk -F"$i" '{print $1}'` ---($i is the loop variable
it will give me the answer but the files not necessarily be always inside db_app because under stage there are several other directories which may contain the files.

how to do it and i have to do it for a large number of files which i will keep in loop so tell me the method to extraxt that address in that particular manner.

Is string "crm_ace_sync" constant i.e. present in all file names?
