Some of you commenters are pointing out, accurately, that `grep` can recursively search files on its own, without `find`. Of course it can! But remember, grepping was just the example I was using to illustrate `-exec`. Your options between `-exec` and `{} +` are practically limitless. Also, to those of you about to voice your displeasure with "needing the terminal to find lost files", your assignment is this word problem: "Susie has a VPS running a web server, and her server daemon has crashed due to a malformed configuration file. How can Susie identify and resolve the problem using only GUI tools and no terminal commands?"

the xarg approach is an antipattern: it's broken with filenames containing quotes or newlines.

I've been using 'find' since the early '80s but I'm too aware how even the earliest commands "evolve" over time so I had a look. This is a nice overview of the basic command (like others, I didn't know about the '+' delimiter, that was worth the watch by itself. One explanation that would help is how the predicates of find act as a left-to-right execution queue, meaning you can list the conditions and each will be tested and if it succeeds, find will move on to the next test. This allows really useful sets of tests where you can do things like "files owned by fred larger than 1gb whose name begins with 'p'. A really nice video, thanks! (Keeping up with the Commodore)

With 30+ years Unix experience I have to admit I never heard of + too. While quick, keep in mind there are limits for the size of a command line in many systems. Also, if you want to use the return value of -exec, + might not be handy. In situation like the one in in the video, I often use "grep * */* */*/* ... " as there are typically not more than 4 or 5 levels of directories. This does not need find, only the shell, that is one process less. If I get an error like "*/*/*/*/* not found" I know I added enough levels. I use this *ALL* the time. Also, I use fgrep when just looking for strings.. Still, great video and shows the young people the incredible power and ingenious design of the Unix OS.

I say this because I tend to fall for the allure of pointless optimizations myself.

@@majorgnu Yes, you are totally right. Don't worry, I'm not doing this, it was only kind of a joke/funny remark - like it is an additional advantage. For me, rather than having to fiddle with find, pipe, braces.. I just add * */* */*/* (that's typically enough)... its way simpler. And I mostly use fgrep since my searches often contain braces and stuff. I don't want to think what I need to escape or not, is it grep or egrep? I just type fgrep, less effort to think.At least for me, your mileage may vary, even depending on your keyboard layout. I make a lot of uses of find though, it is a great tool. But then - using many and more complex conditions etc. You always have to think if an optimization is worth the effort. For a single command, rarely ( having to type less might by a priority there), in a script or program which is run often, it may pay off over time.

This video is a great way to familiarize people with the "find" command. You mentioned that older versions of "find" require the initial command line argument to be a path. Some newer ones will assume a default value of "." and some accept multiple paths. Additionally, the version of "find" that you use assumes "-print" as the default action. Some older versions have no default action, and display nothing if neither "-print" nor "-exec" are given. It's annoying to run "find . -name foo.txt" and see nothing when "ls foo.txt" produces output. If you do use "-exec", be sure to quote the "{}" in case some of the found files contain whitespace in their names. This is important in the presence file filesystem shares via AFS or SMB, or in any environment where some users prefer graphical file managers over the command line. I generally do not recommend using "-exec" with "find", preferring instead to use "-print" and pipe its output to "xargs" to process the found files. This makes command line quoting easier. With the "-n" option of "xargs", you have more than the "all-or-one" choices to group files, which is useful if your command shell has a length limit. With the Gnu versions of "find" and "xargs", I also prefer to use "-print0" and "-0" with these respective tools. Be aware that the "+" feature is part of the Posix specification, but it is absent from the V7 documentation. It is certainly nearly universal, but it's possible (though unlikely) that someone could find a version of "find" that is based on that ancient implementation, and have to come up with a workaround.
@HackspoilerDe

That's a pretty good summation of the find command, and an excellent description of the + terminator, that I hadn't heard of either. Nice work and a nice explanation. If it hasn't been said already, grep can do that search on its own, by (at least on Linux) using grep -nr "your search term" --include="*.txt"; which will limit grep's searching to only files ending in .txt and not anything else. You could perhaps add that to the wonderful grep episode you are looking to do.

I recommend installing bfs, supports the same arguments as find but does a breadth-first search (searches the entire folder before going into subfolders), which is faster in many cases.

That's great, but folks should still learn fundamentals like find if they're planning on working as a sysadmin, or just want to know a bit about how their system works.

I knew most of these options for FIND, but I was unaware that you could search by user / group ownership. Today I learned something! Edit: Are you keeping up with the Commodore?

Thank you for the hint about using plus (i.e. "+") vs. back-slash semi-colon (i.e. "\;"), never knew about using the plus option. BTW, I used to have a Commodore 64, it was great. Much better keyboard then the Sinclair and Atari 400. I remember playing Telengard (a dungeon crawler type game) and one with ladders that I can't remember at the moment. Thanks for the wonderful video
