That's easy -- check out the man page for the find command -- it has an 
unusual, but simple syntax.  To find your files type

find rootdirname -name index.php -print
HTH
--le

Hi all,

In Windows/DOS, I would use a command like:

dir index.php /s

To search my hard drive to find all files named index.php.  I am trying to 
do this on my Mac in terminal as I have misplaced my website files which are 
in the terminal - not in the Mac file system.  Not sure why they don't show 
up in the Mac side of things but, can anybody provide me a Unix command to 
perform this type of search?

Thx,
Jeff
