# find
> Find files under the given directory tree, recursively
- find files by extension
`find {{root_path}} -name {{'*.py'}}`
- run a command for each file
- use {} within the command to access the filename
`find {{root_path}} -name {{'*.py'}} -exec {{wc -l {} }}\;`
`find {{root_path}} -name {{'*.py'}} -exec {{rm {} }}\;`
- find files modified since a certain time
`find {{root_path}} -name {{'*.py'}} -mtime {{-1d}}`
