How to find files in a specific directory using the 'find' command in Linux?

Published on Aug. 22, 2023, 12:17 p.m.

To find files in a specific directory using the ‘find’ command in Linux, you can use the following command:

find /path/to/directory -type f

This will find all regular files in the specified directory and its subdirectories. You can replace /path/to/directory with the path to the directory you want to search.

If you only want to search the specified directory (not its subdirectories), you can add the -maxdepth 1 option:

find /path/to/directory -maxdepth 1 -type f

This will find all regular files in the specified directory only.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
