Find all files whose names contain a given string, and highlight it

问题

I find myself writing this command a lot:

find . -iname "*foo*" | fgrep -i "foo"

To find all files and folders that have "foo" in their names, and to highlight the matching part in the results.

That's not very convenient. What would be a simpler solution? Do I need to write a custom command for this?

回答1:

For convenience you can create a BASH function for this:

hlt() { find . -iname '*'"$1"'*' | grep --color "$1"; }

and call it as:

hlt foo

回答2:

if you're using bash take a look at Make a Bash alias that takes a parameter? for how to make "custom command" also note that grep without -i is case sensitive while -iname is not so you might be missing some mixed case hilights. On the side note fgrep should be faster than grep and probably less resource hungry :)
