a find of an entire system takes time. Several minutes to fraction of an hour. Once a file containing all is created, a grep takes a fraction of a second. My /allsys file has .8 meg records find with no options is simple to remember and \| grep xxx is the same as -name xxx. As to typing. an up arrow gets last command and then you just add \|grep next_filter. My suggested way is to minimize commands required find grep grep -v the not case grep -i ignore upper lower case. I don't use sed, I do use awk, mostly \| awk '{print $n}' with the -F to define alternate separator and NF for last arg especially with find awk -F/ '{print NF}' or $NF
