Find all files with a filename beginning with a specified string?
If you want to restrict your search only to files you should consider to use -type f in your search
try to use also -iname for case-insensitive search
Example:
find /path -iname 'yourstring*' -type fYou could also perform some operations on results without pipe sign or xargs
Example:
Search for files and show their size in MB
find /path -iname 'yourstring*' -type f -exec du -sm {} \;
