Question

How do I ensure that there is a number after a file name in find? Conceptually:

find ./directory -name filename{number}.temp 

If I enter

find ./directory -name filename'[0-9]'*.temp

it will give me file names of the form filename'[0-9]'text.temp as well.

Answer 1

find ./directory -regex '.*/filename[0-9][0-9]*\.temp'

Note that -regex matches on the whole path, not just the filename.
