 Unix Tip #4384- March 13, 2025
 
USE DU TO FIND FILES  
  
Normally:  
  
find . -name *.txt -print  
  
is the command to find a file.  
But you can locate find more  
efficiently using du and grep  
  
Use:  
  
du -a |grep *.txt  
  
This will locate all the files  
with the extension .txt in the  
current directory.
