The definition of find is

The find utility recursively descends the directory tree for each file listed,

But there are a couple options I would try - have not done so myself. These are from the QShell manual.

1. Try -prune somewhere after /QIBM but not immediately after the -name. According to the manual

It causes find to not descend into the current file.

Not sure if that means what I think.

2. Use the -x option, which is described as

Prevent find from descending into directories that have a device number different than that of the
file from which the descent began.

Hello,

Just started to use qshell and 'find' I'm wondering if there's a way to
limit the search to just one subdirectory.
If I enter    "find /QIBM -name '*.txt'"  then I get a list of all
.txt-files in all subdirectories below /QIBM.
Anyway to prohibit that and get a list from the QIBM directory alone?
