I like this one:

ls  `find -name $PWD/*part-of-filename-I-remember*`

All,

I can't seem to find the options on 'find' to give
me the full path to a file. In my home directory I use

find -name '*part-of-filename-I-remember*'

and I get

./the-right-filename-I-was-looking-for

but not the directory it's in.

Please enlighten me.

Thank you,

Nino
