如何获取具有未知特定模式的目录的名称，然后 cd 到它（在 bash 中，在 macOS 上）

Question

I have a lots of subjects, each with a 2 or 3 sub-directories that have the pattern of "subjectname_XXX_aslpp". The XXX is different between sub-dirs and subjects.

I have a large loop that goes through each subject, but I need to operate on a specific file in each of the "subjectname_XXX_aslpp" directories, so I need to know its pathname.

eg If for subject 1, I have 3 subdirs (changes between subs,), XXX=123, 758, 294, then my loop needs to jump into that subject. then operate on a file inside each of those folders.

mycommand subject1/subjectname_123_aslpp/diffav_calib.nii.gz

mycommand subject1/subjectname_758_aslpp/diffav_calib.nii.gz

mycommand subject1/subjectname_294_aslpp/diffav_calib.nii.gz

For example

MOUNT="/mypath/to/data/"
for subject in $subjectlist
do
   for numDir in $howmanysubdirs
   do
        myfunction ${MOUNT}/${subject}/${subject}_XXX_aslpp/diffav_calib.nii.gz
        ...
   done
done

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks

This seems to be working, thank you! @MaximSagaydachny

for file in $(find ${MOUNT}/${subject}/ -name 'diffav_calib.nii.gz' );
            do 
                echo $file
                tmpPath=$(dirname $file)

                echo $tmpPath

                flirt -in $file\
                    -ref ${ANATMOUNT}/${anatsub}.nii\
                    -out $tmpPath/diffav_calib_flirt\
                    -omat $tmpPath/diffav_calib_flirt.mat\
                    -bins 256\
                    -cost corratio\
                    -searchrx -90 90\
                    -searchry -90 90\
                    -searchrz -90 90\
                    -dof 12\
                    -interp trilinear
            done
