I wish to use find (or ls) in a script to select some directory (maybe several directories actually) according to some variable I give.



So for ex :



/usr/local/bin/script tad*


would give me a list of all the directories beginning with "tad" in repository /var/db.



Not



/var/db/tadam
/var/db/tadadada
/var/db/taddeus


but



tadam
tadadada
taddeus


Thanks for help.

  • How does your script script look like? What is your final goal? Are you interested in only directories or files too?
