find [dir-to-start-with] -name "filemask" -print
example:
find /usr/bin -name "*play*" -print
will start searching in the /usr/bin directory and below it for files that
have "play" in them, and would find things like
/usr/bin/cdplay
/usr/bin/esdplay
/usr/bin/cdplayer_applet
/usr/bin/kcmdisplay
/usr/bin/kplayaudio
/usr/bin/playmidi
/usr/bin/splaymidi
/usr/bin/play
/usr/bin/soxplay
Run "man find" for more details - "find" is a seriously powerful tool.
