Find command to return absolute path

Question

I'm using find command a lot on unix (csh).

Is it possible that the result will be full/absolute path and will start from the directory where I'm starting the search

for example when running command from /project/Test/v0.15/test/frontend, the results are:

./core/serdes_complex/frontend/lib/lib_behave.f
./core/serdes_complex/frontend/lib/test_srd_compile.f

But i would like to get

/project/Test/v0.15/test/frontend/core/serdes_complex/frontend/lib/lib_behave.f
/project/Test/v0.15/test/frontend/core/serdes_complex/frontend/lib/test_srd_compile.f

How are you using find command? I guess searching directly from / instead of your current directory would solve your problem! – Wera

Answer 1

Try searching from $cwd:

find $cwd -name \*.f

Or just use the full path e.g. find /home/user/path/ -iname ... – Unmentionable

Answer 2

You should use the command realpath to resolve the path :

find . -name "*.f" -exec realpath {} \;

This isn't the approach I'd usually take, but it's an interesting one :-) – Calcimine

Answer 3

I got it to work using $PWD:

find $PWD -name \*.f
