Find all files that begins with “wtrace.tr.” and ends with either one or two digits, e.g. “wtrace.tr.1″ or “wtrace.tr.10″ in current folder and recursive folders:
find -regex .*/wtrace.tr.[0-9]+
If we want to find the files as above and at the same time want to gzip all the files found, we may combine the previous command as follows:
find -regex .*/wtrace.tr.[0-9]+ -exec gzip {} \;
