Question

So I have have a directory – lets say /dir/. In it I have these folders- /dir/fold1/ /dir/fold2/ /dir/fold3/

each of these folders (fold1,2,3) may contain a folder called foo. I want to list all the folders inside dir, that have inside them a folder called foo.

Thanks!

Answer 1

What about

ls -R /dir | grep -i foo 

Breaking down the command we have: ls -R = Lists files recursively (including directories

grep -i foo = Will take the command above and filter it case-insensitive to display any instances of ‘foo’.
