[bug #20997] Patterns in files and directories

[Eric Blake]

Update of bug #20997 (project findutils):

                  Status:                    None => Works For Me           

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #1:

Dual pattern matching is already possible.  For example, this finds all
directories that match C??, followed by all files in those directories that
match R*:

$ find -wholename '*/C??/*' -name 'R*'
./CVS/Repository
./CVS/Root
./doc/CVS/Repository
./doc/CVS/Root

You may want to provide more details of the exact patterns you are trying to
find, so that we can help determine a working expression for that goal.

Likewise, dual file-type matching is already possible, as in this example
that finds both directories and regular files:

$ find CVS ( -type d -o -type f )
CVS
CVS/Entries
CVS/Repository
CVS/Root
CVS/Template
