Subject: [gentoo-user] Search filesystem with a wildcard
Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2011 18:26:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=WdrXfapMAnGLMzNorQ8sg36WpX+A7_rNDqykj@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I used to use slocate like this to search the filesystem for a file:

foo*.txt

but mlocate doesn't seem to accept wildcards.  I tried to figure out
how to do it with find but failed.  Can anyone point me in the right
direction?
