find

The
find
command searches a given directory for files that match your specification
e.g. list all the files under the current directory whose name begins with "my"
%
find . -name "my*"
myReadOnlyFile
myScript
myPrivateFile
myDirectory
Note that by surrounding the glob character with quotes the shell doesn't interpret it -- this time we want "find" to see the "*" character
