Why not something like this for the find statement:
find /somedirectory -print | grep -i "${i}"

Subject: find of ANY case
Is there an easy way to search for files containing some sub-string, but not
caring if the hit has upper, lower or mixed case letters of the sub-string.
If I do:
for i in `cat some_word.lst`
do
echo ${i}
find /somedir -name "*${i}*" -print
echo ""
done
I will find all files with the word from the list of words, but not if the
case does not match.
I can use "tr" and get two (or three) words per iteration that I can plug
into the find with "or" statements, but I will still not get mixed case
matches.
Is there something like a "grep -i" option? I don't think so. What
about some OpenSource or PERL "enhanced-find" command?
Thanks,
