How would I do a recursive search that will provide a path to the parent folder of a searched-for file?
For instance, this command will find the file in a recursive search, but it provides no information on the path to that file:
(starting from a suitable starting place)
ls -Rl | grep "Bookmarks.plist"
-rw-rw-rw- 1 mobile mobile 100934 May 3 20:37 Bookmarks.plist
-rw-rw-rw- 1 mobile mobile 143 Apr 30 22:12 Bookmarks.plist.anchor.plist
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root mobile 203551 Apr 9 09:00 Bookmarks.plist.bup
... will find all instances of files with Bookmarks.plist in the name, but does not provide any paths to the found files. How can I get the path?
