[@tobechukwublessed4274]

This is year 2022, but the knowledge I gained here is excellently effective...guy!!!

[@Omnihil777]

Thanks for your videos, Corey. I'm using Linux since 5 years, seriously learning since about 3, and I'm still learning things from your vids. Your method with examples comes right to the point and is among the best tutorials on youtube, should have much more views imo. Rock on like that!

[@nolimitsza6524]

Thanks for another great tutorial, i subscribed because of your python tutorials but i think all your videos are awesome.

[@bjgjuiuguoojpoo]

You are definitely THE BEST! The best tut's about terminal I've ever seen! THANK YOU!

[@UpcycleElectronics]

Thanks, sub'd. I found this after searching for ""Linux terminal search"" on the YT mobile app. This was the first result in the search results. This upload has more useful info than I was originally looking for. Thanks again for the upload. Happy Friday. -Jake

[@SagarSureliya]

Man, that was so on point. The best tutorial for command line PERIOD!

[@rudylopez6546]

This tutorial is amazing!!! I had no idea I could "find" based on time or time range as shown in the video. I can't wait to go to work on Monday so I can try this out on my work files. THANKS!!!

[@kavabangaungava]

A great example of how to clearly and concisely express your thoughts, explaining not simple things.

[@truverol8205]

Thanks for this video. I am learning right now linux commands and sometimes it's hard to learn everything from manual and your tutorial was very helpful ;)

[@morigene]

never seen useful tutorial like this. Keep it up brother. it's worth it.

[@pacman86ru]

Hey man, thanks a lot! So far it's a really good and well-structured tutorial unlike many around there that go about as: "kay, we're done with ls and pwd, next stop - homebrew"

[@xephiasz]

i've only one word to describe this video: wow. The level of clarity and the usefulness of the example presented are just... wow! Thank you

[@user-yf8il6we2z]

Please do more videos like this, it would help so much to find more in depth command line program tutorials. Most of the vids just cover the basics but this was much more in depth.

[@shihabkhan3218]

Always great to learn from Corey. Absolutely no BS and completely practical

[@shahrukhjaved786]

excellent video flawless explanation with examples I've watched 5-6videos for find cmd but your one video is way more detailed about the topic than all of them together. awesome video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@codeisfun3041]

literally, the best video on this topic I've ever seen.

[@ianfischer103]

YOU RULE!! this video is exactly what I was looking for. I learned a new skill!! Thanks.

[@markslima1557]

This video is GOOOOOLLLLDD!! Thank you so helpful and so clearly demonstrated. Stay safe hope you are well!

[@RandomShowerThoughts]

I literally learnt so much through this video. It covered bash commands, made me look up all the options on the man pages, showed a little wildcard, thank you so much

[@RandomShowerThoughts]

Forgot to mention chmod and chown. Reminded me that the original Chmod ownership is 777 for directories and 664 for files.

[@TheDeadmanwalking83]

The way you teach is so simple and so effective that even the most novice and completely new to linux can learn very easily. Keep the good work Partner. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER

[@joseph4185]

I just found your channel and you explained this much better than the Udemy course I downloaded. Subscribed and liked. Thank you so much!

[@Smurfomatic]

As someone just really getting into linux, this was great. Earned a "Subscribed" and "Thumbs up" smashhhh. Thanks!

[@MyTube4Utoo]

[@knowhow7438]

Great tutorial. Thanks Corey. All your videos are amazing!

[@abdourahmanmahdi1544]

You explain better than my own prof. Thank you very much for the good content.Really means a lot to me

[@rajk2400]

You are good teacher !!! You are the best in teaching to at any stage of student. Thanks, after long time I have seen a great teacher on Linux. Wonderful.

[@SreeramReddyB]

You are amazing, Corey. Very well explained.

[@VIKRAMTIDKE]

You explains things very well and in very sophisticated language with appropriate examples....thanks

[@sanchit8818]

Just wanted to add the difference between \; and +. Basically when you use a + sign, it is like xargs, i.e. "chmod file1, file2, file3". On the other hand \; means you want to loop over each file like "chmod file1; chmod file2; "chmod file3;". Most of the time you can use them interchangeably though as most unix commands like chmod accept multiple files in input.

[@mjscpr]

Thanks, good tip.

[@magnushovmand4859]

Damn, 7 years ago and still super useful!

[@DeepakSingh-md3ry]

In case anyone curious, by changing semicolon (;) to plus (+) in -exec rm {} ';' make the command efficient since by doing so command (in this example rm) run only once . In short, + sign activate the ability of find to combine the results of the search into an argument list for a single execution of the desired command. btw another great video #Corey.

[@Yome110182]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial. Made my day !

[@TheAussiePirate]

Si like your clear and succinct delivery. Subbed.

[@name1355_0ne]

[@cl3m]

Thanks for this video. For the last examples, -exec rm can be replaced by -delete which may be more efficient.

[@coreyms]

That's a great tip. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@ianfischer103]

but the point is that you can run any command that you want. he chose rm. like you could move all your files of a certain type for example.

Amazing tutorial as always. I am comfortable working with the terminal and wanted to shift to bash scripting. I know the basics of bash like conditionals, looping, variables, and inputs. I wanted ideas for making some real life and useful projects. Also if you can suggest some existing projects that I can read and extract ideas from.

[@xxxPrzybyLxxx]

There is a difference between the {} and + sign: {} Is a placeholder for the result found by find + All result lines are concatenated and the command is executed only a single time with all found results as a parameter You can check this Yourself by using find with ls -lh ...

[@coreyms]

Interesting. Thanks.
