In Linux/Unix, you can perform a case-insensitive search using the find
command by using the -iname
option. The -iname
option allows you to match file names case-insensitively.
Here’s an example of how to use find
to search for files with a certain extension (e.g. .txt) in the current directory and all its subdirectories, ignoring case sensitivity:
find . -iname "*.txt"
This will search the current directory (.
) and all its subdirectories for files whose names end with .txt
, ignoring case sensitivity. The results will be displayed on the console.
You can also use the -iname
option with other find
options to perform more complex searches. For example, to find files that have a certain word in their names and are larger than a certain size, you could use the following command:
find . -iname "*word*" -size +100k -print
This will search for files whose names contain the word “word” and are larger than 100 kilobytes, ignoring case sensitivity, and print the results.
