Question

I have a file which starts with " xx ", I want to find it and do some bash commands on it.

In order to find it, I wrote the next command:

b= 'echo $(ls -r /var/www/xx*)'

But it say that No such file or directory , while xxbr7.log is there.

How I can find it?

Answer 1

Because you have a space after the = so it is interpreting the entire 'echo $(ls -r /var/www/xx*)' string as a command to execute (with the variable b set to an empty string in its environment.)

If you're trying to set b to the string echo /var/www/xxbr7.log then you want:

b='echo $(ls -r /var/www/xx*)'

with no space after the = character.

If you're trying to set it to just the string /var/www/xxbr7.log then you can simplify it:

b=$(ls -r /var/www/xx*)

Or for the special case where there's only one file doing $(ls -r /var/www/xx*) is unnecessary, you could just say /var/www/xx*

b=/var/www/xx*

Answer 2

You can use the command:

find . -name 'mystring*'

to find.
