Find question

Hi:
Why this script show me all files in my directory, and not only
$file ?

if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
echo " Please type file name: \c"
read file
if [ -z $file ]
then
exit 0
fi
fi
for arq in `find . `pwd` -name $file`
do
ls -alF $file
done

Thank you

That's the same as

for arq in find $(find . )pwd$( -name $file)

If you want to nest command substitution using backticks, you
need to escape the inner ones.

[...]

Try instead

find . "$PWD" -name "$file" -exec ls -alFd {} +

Or if you have a very old system and the above doesn't work:


find . "`pwd`" -name "$file" -exec ls -alFd {} \;

Your find command is wrong.
