Finding files, directories, and computers
Corel LINUX lets you search for files, directories, and networked computers. When you search for a file or directory, the Find Files or Folders utility lists the file's name, location, size, and file type. You can define the search parameters to conduct a simple search, a search by date of last file modification, or an advanced search.
You can search for the location of specific computers on your network with the Find Computer utility. The search is conducted using the name of the computer.
You can use wildcard characters to help you find files and directories. Wildcard characters take the place of one or more characters in your search string (the file or folder name you search for); Find Files substitutes any character for the wildcard. The question mark (?) substitutes a single character in your search string. The asterisk (*) substitutes any number of characters in the search string. For example, you can search for a directory using the search string "Pic*". This search string returns all directories that have a name beginning with the letters "Pic." Searching for a directory using the search string "Pic?" returns only directories that have one character following "Pic", such as "Pict" or "Pico". You can use a wildcard character anywhere in the search string. The Find utility is case sensitive, so using a lower case letter in your search does not have the same search results as using the equivalent upper case letter.
