Editing Find (Unix) (section)

===Regular files only===
<syntaxhighlight lang="console">
$ find . -name 'my*' -type f
</syntaxhighlight>
This limits the results of the above search to only regular files, therefore excluding directories, special files, symbolic links, etc. ''my*'' is enclosed in single quotes (apostrophes) as otherwise the shell would replace it with the list of files in the current working directory starting with ''my''...
