bash find files using regex pattern

Comment

# Basic syntax:
find . -regextype posix-extended -regex '<regex_pattern>'
# Where:
#	- -regextype allows you to specify a REGEX syntax to use. Options include
#		findutils, emacs (which is the default option unless otherwise
#		specified), gnu-awk, grep, egrep, posix-awk, posix-basic, posix-egrep
#		and posix-extended
#	- '<regex_pattern>' the REGEX pattern that will be used to filter the
#		results of find. See regex101.com for help with building REGEX patterns

# Example usage:
# Say you want to find all files that include exactly 8 consecutive digits as
# well as the word fish, up to a depth of 2 subdirectories.
# This could be accomplished with the following command:
find . -maxdepth 2 -type f -regextype posix-extended -regex '.*[0-9]{8}.*fish.*'
