How to locate (not find) a file with no extension in Linux?

Question

How can I find a file with no extension using locate ? Can I pipe it through grep if locate can't do it?

Answer 1

你尝试过这个吗

    locate -b fileName

Answer 2

Well this is one way to do it:

locate -b filename | grep -v '\.'

Locate -b finds only files with that basename, so not filename/something. The grep bit then finds only files with no extension.
