Unix displays information about files that match one of the two modes… here is a solution to the problem.
Unix displays information about files that match one of the two modes
I tried to recursively display all files that start with a or end with a and some information about them on Unix systems: name, size and last modified.
I tried find. -name “*a” -o -name “a*” It shows all files normally, but when I add -printf "%p %s" it only shows one result.
Solution
If you want to apply the same Action to both modes, you need to group them in parentheses. Also, you should add a newline character in printf, otherwise all the output will be on one line:
find . \( -name "*a" -o -name "a*" \) -printf "%p %s\n"
