Dear Monks,
I need to extract file names matches with pattern I given through command line. For getting command line arguments, I used getopt in shell script. I planned to use find command with framing the iname appropriately to get the files which matches with command line arguments passed.
Here, I have a doubt as will find command better than ls command or ls will be better than find command or is there any other command to locate the files in current directory quickly.
Kindly suggest me which one is better.
Note: Directory contains more than 1000 files in it and approximately size will be 2.5GB.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
