find and grep

[spookie]

Hi,

I am issuing find command as

find  $path -type f -print

Now i want to filter out certain file names using some regex with the above command, but i am not getting exact syntax.

find  $path -type f -print | grep 'abc*xyz'
# not working..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never set a goal because u never know whats going to happen tommorow.

See grep -v perhaps?

All I ask of you
Is make my wildest dreams come true

How about:

find $path -type f -print -exec grep 'abc*xyz' {} \;

or

find $path -type f -print | xargs grep 'abc*xyz'
