hi,
I can't find any switch in the find command for this purpose.
maybe you can instead use:
ls -al |grep <file to find>
maybe others have a better solution
kind regards

Hi,
Yes, you can do it using "depth" switch. On my linux machine, I can parse only on current dir, not on its sub-dir with this command;
#find . -maxdepth 1
where, 1 is the depth of dir to parse....
I am not sure this switch works on HP-UX.
Note:
I dont have a HP mac to test it.
HTH,

and is there a necessity of using find command?
if you want to find only in current dir,i would use combination of 'ls' and 'grep' command,e.g. ls -al|grep "what u want" ;)

Hi,
not the nicest solution, but this may work:
# Produce a list of direct sub-directories
ls -p1 | grep -e'/' > a.lis
# Get list of files, but exclude all direct sub-directories
find . | egrep -v -f a.lis
example:
I have two files called a.c, one in current and one in test sub-directory
$ find . -name a.c
./a.c
./test/a.c
$ ls -p1 | grep -e'/' > a.lis
$ find . -name a.c | egrep -v -f a.lis
./a.c
Only the current a.c is found ! |

find -prune works on AIX but not sure on HP.
from the man page:
-prune
Always evaluates to the value True. Stops the descent of the current path name if it is a directory. If the -depth flag is
specified, the -prune flag is ignored. |

Hi:
Well, you could do the following. The example assumes that you want to find all *files* that begin with the letter "p" in the working directory:
# cd /pathname
# find . -type f -name "p*" ! -path "./*/*"
Regards!

Public,
You can use the -xdev option if pointing to a mount point directory ,
Cheers,
Raj. |

To see all files in the current folder w/o searching any sub-directories:
# find . -path "./*" -prune -type f
To see all files and sub-dirs in the current dir (without going into any sub-dir) remove the "-type" option to the above find command, i.e.
# find . -path "./*" -prune
~hope it helps |

One more - much like the above one:
find * .* -prune |

Just for fun,
I kept fooling with this idea and got a neater output - which is funny enough - almost like "ls -a 1". It takes JRF's output and removes the leading "./*"
find . -path "./*" -prune -exec basename {} \;
I liked the output, but I didn't like how the hidden files (files starting with ".") didn't come out first, so I sorted them to get that "almost ls" look.
find . -path "./*" -prune -exec basename {} \; | sort
Of course, as noted before - by adding "-type f" or "-type d" to the find command returns just files or directories, respectively. |
