I use the following alias to run find only for c and h file extensions.
alias findch=’find . -name “*.[ch]” | xargs grep ‘

What is the way to extend this to also search for .cc files. Also, how to exclude .svn directories.

Vinmarsh: I was looking for something similat (that no warnings should be displayed)
If do not want it, simly add “2>/dev/null” to the end. Example
find / -name ’123′ 2>/dev/null
instead of
find / -name ’123′

cheers

This process of detecting the file(s) modified in the last 10 or 15 minutes shall go on.and hence the redirecting of the files to a New SIngle file would keep bringing in new files to IT. There are totally 41 files that i have to look out from and once such files are redirected , then i have to Open and Read only the Latet ENtries from such files. Hope this would make the requirement further a bit more clear.

sometimes when we run find command, we get permission denied errors on certain files in which find doesn’t lookup for the specified search. what if I do not want find to look in the files in which find is giving ” permission denied” warning”. if possible. please mail me the answer on icon.vimarsh@gmail.com ..

I’ve been searching google for something.. finally was directed to your website.. and it has been a great experience thereafter.. too awesome.. too amazing.. all articles are very very knowledgeable.
