How can I recursively search for directory names with a particular string?
How can I recursively search for directory names with a particular string where the string is only part of the directory name? For example: the directory name is “8.0.3-99966_en”, but I want to recursively search for directories with the string “99966”.
Is the file name after RM considered a file name?
Everything after that is considered file names. In other words, if you had a file called (for example) –no-preserve-root in the current directory, that would have been interpreted as an option to rm, not as a file name to remove! Be careful with wildcards (and with file naming).
Why does rm delete all files under the current directory?
I assumed it would delete all files/directories under the current directory recursively. Something bad happened after that (my server is down, not even getting ping response). Don’t forget the possibility that the server being unreachable after the rm command had nothing to do with that. It could be a coincidence!
How to find directories not containing a file?
I created 4 sub directories named dir1, dir2, dir3 and dir with spaces. I wanted to test if this handles spaces equally well which is why I created a directory with spaces in its name. I created files file1, file2, file3 and file4 in dir2 and dir3.
What are names of files in Dir with spaces?
I created files file1, file2, file3 and file4 in dir2 and dir3. In dir1, I created file1, file2, file3. In dir with spaces, I created a file named file with spaces. As expected, since the directory dir with spaces contains the file named file with spaces it is not listed in the output.

I used the Value Words function as is, and then my final SearchVal heuristic was defined as =MIN (D2,E2)*0.8+MAX (D2,E2)*0.2 – a weighted average. Whichever of the two scores was lower got weighted 80%, and 20% of the higher score.
