finding .m files using 'locate'

[Mike Miller]

Most new unix systems, especially GNU/Linux systems have the 'locate' 
command.  Here is a way to get a list of every directory that contains at 
least one file with the .m extension:

locate .m | egrep '\.m$' | perl -pe 's#(^.*)/[^/]+.m#$1#g' | sort | uniq
