Find files using wildcard in directory using Linux

Question

So I have a directory that has a number of files. I'm wondering what I need to find files within that directory. My files have a naming convention and then a last name. I'd like to find by the naming convention.

/MyDir/MySubDir/2016_01_randomLastNameABC

/MyDir/MySubDir/2016_01_randomLastNameDEF

/MyDir/MySubDir/2016_01_randomLastNameGHD

/MyDir/MySubDir/2016_01_randomLastNameDGD

find "/MyDir/MySubDir/2016_01_*" 

I keep getting an error that says:

"linux file names usually don't contain slashes"

It must not like the fact that I'm trying to search a directory

Answer 1

尝试find ./MyDir/MySubdir/ -name "2016_01_*"

Answer 2

This will do

find /MyDir/MySubDir/ -name "2016_01_*"

./market/public/static/ng-file-upload.min.js
./market/public/static/codemirror-min.js
