[lug] find command or similar

[Kenneth D. Weinert]

Here's a little shell script that should do the trick. I use locate
because it's faster, but it could be replaced with:

find / -type f -print

locate \* | while read path;do
  file=$(basename $path); 
  res=$(echo $file | egrep "[[:alnum:]]{10,15}"); 
  if [ ! -z $res ];then 
    echo $path;
  fi;
done

Where I have {10,15} you could put {200,} for your first case and
{200.240} for your second.

Note that the [[:alnum;]] expression might not match all filenames -
you can do a "man egrep" and look at the regular expression syntax to
make it more closely conform to what you might find on your system.

		 The Instant of the first Atomic Bomb
    
    At that moment, man, made in God's image, had used his powers of 
scientific invention to make his first attempt to destroy himself.
   
    The attempt succeeded.
