Next we pipe into the sort command which just puts every thing in order.įinally we pipe into uniq -c which counts each unique line (the file extensions) and prints out the results. The pattern is just a regex that says look for a dot followed by one or more chars that are not a dot \+, at the end of a line $. Next we have grep -o ".\+$" the -o tells grep to only output lines that match the pattern, and only output the match. The filename globbing pattern co matches the single character c or o, so putting it at the end of the pattern used with -name enables you to find filenames that has either character at the end of the name. The -type f omits directories from showing up in the list.

You may specify more than one starting directory for searching. jsįirst we have find /some/dir -type f which just limits find to output all the files in the directory recursively. Options The general form of the command is: find (starting directory) (matching criteria and actions) The find command will begin looking in the starting directory you specify and proceed to search through all accessible subdirectories. This will print out a nice list like this: 5.

#Bash find file in directory with extension series#

Here's one way to print out a list of extensions and the number of files of each type: find /some/dir -type f | grep -o ".\+$" | sort | uniq -c Use the file command to read the files specified by the File or -fFileList parameter, perform a series of tests on each one, and attempt to classify the. What if you want a listing of all file extensions and the count of files in a directory? js to show up only at the end of the file. js anywhere in the path, so we could improve that script by using a regular expression $ character, for example: find /some/dir | grep -c '\.js$'

The above would also match a file, or a directory had. The -c in grep tells it to count the matches, I'm using fgrep here because I'm not using a regex (to avoid escaping the dot). For example you want to know how many js files are in a directory, you can run this: find /some/dir | fgrep -c '.js'

#Bash find file in directory with extension how to#

Back in 2004 I wrote up a blog entry showing how to get a count of files by a specific extension. Here, r stands for recursive, n refers to a line number, w is used to match the whole word, /path/to/somewhere/ is the directory, and.
