ls /cloud_nfs/*PID.dat
/cloud_nfs/1.2.3.4_PID.dat
/cloud_nfs/100.2.3.4_PID.dat
find . -regex '*\./*(\d+.\d+)*' ----not working.. ive seen multiple
examples.. so i'm doing something wrong...
i've cd'd to the dir in question to run the test find...
I know this is "simple" so i''m missing something...
thanks
