How to Search for Files Recursively into Subdirectories
I am trying to look for all XML files in a particular directory and all sub-directories (recursively) inside it.
ls -R *.xml is only listing files in the current directory. I am quite sure, the sub-folders themselves have several .xml files, but none are showing up.
Is this a configuration issue?
Solution 1:
You can do it with find only:
find . -name '*.xml'
. is the current directory. If you need to search in another directory, replace . with the directory path.
Solution 2:
Try using Find
sudo find . -print | grep -i '.*[.]xml'
