How can I do a search of all directories calles i18n under trees like src/main/resources using find or any other unix command.

Everything I'm trying doesn't work

I'm looking for something like:

$find . -name 'src/main/resources/i18n/ -type d ./foo/src/main/resources/i18n/ ./bar/src/main/resources/i18n/ ./xyz/src/main/resources/i18n/

But directory './foo/src/test/resources/i18n' should not appear.

  • "everything I'm trying" is not very useful. What have you tried? Commented Feb 18, 2013 at 11:24

Found it at last:

find -type d -regex ".*src/main/resources/i18n"

You're almost there. Specify the common root dir of all your trees instead of . 

find common/root/dir/ -type d -name i18n

(You can specify an absolute path there of course.)

  • Could you be more specific about that? Commented Feb 18, 2013 at 9:57
  • $ find src/main/resources/ -type d -name i18n find: src/main/resources/: No such file or directory Commented Feb 18, 2013 at 9:58
  • Ah, yes. I slightly misunderstood your question. See my edit, in your case the common root seems to be . but you need to use only "i18n" with -name, not the rest of the paths as well. Commented Feb 18, 2013 at 10:02
  • Yes, I also tried that, but that gives me both the 'src/main/resources/i18n' and the 'src/test/resources/i18n' that I don't need. Commented Feb 18, 2013 at 10:09
