FreeBSD, enterprise open source stuff, network and system security. I'm by no means an expert software developer, but I've been using PHP since 1995 and can find the bathroom on my own. Bourne shell and awk since the 1980s. My Telebit Worldblazer and serial breakout box are still in good working order. :/

comment How can I find all files in a folder that contain a match of a regular expression in the file name?
You said "The find command can take a regular expression as input", then you provided an example where find is interpreting a file glob. The fact that globbing use some similar notation to regular expressions is immaterial. The above string is not a regular expression unless it is interpreted using find's -regex option.

-1 The -name option support a limited number of extensions to file globbing. Its square bracket expressions work in a way that is similar to regexes, but -name does not support full regexes.
