BTW, you could then pipe the output of the above pipeline into xargs to do something with the filename(s) matched. e.g. to move the matching file to another directory:
xargs -0r mv -T /destination/
I've never seen the "xargs -0r" before, that is useful for sure.
Actually, that should be:
xargs -0r mv -T /destination/ --
The "mv -T /destination/" ... that doesn't seem to make sense to me...? This from mv man page: -T, --no-target-directory treat DEST as a normal file
The "--" prevents any filenames from being misinterpreted as options, in case any of them begin with a "-".
Yes, that's useful too. I do regularly use -print0 and tools that work with that find option.
