Pattern matching is drivingg me nuts.
This command works the way I want it too:
find / -type d -maxdepth 1
This does not
find / -type d -maxdepth 1 -exec du {} \;
It gave the size of all directories.
So then I tried
find / -type d -maxdepth 1 -exec du {} \; |grep "\/[a-z,A-Z,0-9]^[\/]
The pattern matching did not work the way I expected it to. What I wanted
was it to reject all lines with a second "/".
Would somebody please point me in the direction for finding out how
pattern matching works.
By the way, I quickly realized my mistake in getting what I was after.
The command which did what I wanted (size of each directory)
find / -type d -maxdepth 1 -exec du --max-depth=0 {} \;
thanks
david
