# CD /
# locate *.bak
instead of find?
# CD /
# locate *.bak
instead of find?
find / -name '*.sql' -o -name '*.bak' > tempfile.1
grep -i .hello. tempfile.1
grep -i .hello. tempfile.1
find / -name "*.sql" | egrep "hello|bak"
There won't be many (if any) other files with 'hello' in them, so try:
This will give you a listing of all files with 'hello' in the name and their locations. This must be an exam question or something as someone else just recently asked the exact same question (and accepted my answer above as the solution :p )
locate hello

locate will sometimes not locate recent files because the database is not updated. If you want to use locate to find that file, try doing updatedb before you do locate.
eg. updatedb
locate hello
Thanks
eg. updatedb
