I want to retrieve the list of files from a directory & including its sub-directories too, Whose file name contains "message-" or "secure". I have tried with below commands , But they could not read files from its sub-directories.

find /u01 -maxdepth 1 -name "*message-*"

find . -name "*message-*"

find /u01 -type f -printf '%s %p\n' | sort -nr | head -20 | find  -maxdepth 1 -name "*message-*" -a -name "*secure*"

Can you please help on this...

Below commands worked for me.

find /u01 -type f \( -name "*message*" -o -name "*secure*" \)   -type f -printf '%s %p\n'

To get top 20 largest file whose name contains those both string.

find /u01 -type f \( -name "*message*" -o -name "*secure*" \)   -type f -printf '%s %p\n' | sort -nr | head -20
