Re: Searching for IFS directory

find . -name "*apt*" -exec ls -lad {} \;

You can replace the . with / but that will tell it to start at the top of the root directory and will take "some minutes" as it will search QSYS.LIB as well.

I’m trying to locate a directory in the IFS with a specific name (or a specific set of characters in the name).

The find command seemed to be what I I was looking for but it is not working for me. According to some Unix sites the option I need to make it case insensitive is iname like so:

find / -type d -iname "apt" -ls

But it is rejected in PASE (and QShell) as an invalid option.

Can anyone tell me what alternatives I can use? I only want directories - not files.
