need help on shell programming

btw im a newbie to shell scripting ...
how to write a script that can actually list out the file u searched throughout the directory and its sub directories

for example im in /ex1/users/adrian/
im searching a file name 'abc' using the command : search abc
how could i do the search through the directories within

/ex1/users/adrian/ and its sub directories like /ex1/users/adrian/tmp/

and it output should come out like this

$search abc
/ex1/users/adrian/troubleabc
/ex1/users/adrian/abcbook
/ex1/users/adrian/kkk.abc
/ex1/users/adrian/tmp/abcxxx
/ex1/users/adrian/tmp/shoutabc

First of all, I think this should be moved to the "Scripts" forum.
Second, this sounds like homework so please do not expect to have people here write the script for you.
Third, from the command prompt, type "man find".

Regards,

jlk

Look up in the manual for find command

You can use it as -

$ find path -name "abc" -type f -print

where path is the directory/path where you like to locate the files
