I wanna find some files in solaris 10. I don't remember full name of
them so I wanna look for all files which have "abc" (example) in their
name. How can I do?

I tried this command but it only show me the file name match exactly
with my pattern
#find / -name abc -print

I also read the man pages but not clear

Thx in advance

find /directory -name '*abc*'

use quotes in '*abc*' and try not to start the search in / but
in specific directories and/or use other options to prevent it
from going into network mounts, special directories, etc

(in practice you can omit the -print on modern versions of Solaris, but
I belive it is not so portable without that option).

Okay, Thanks all. It work now. I have to put *name in to the quote '
...... '. ;-)
