  • why do you prefer the pipe over SEARCH='*.txt' find / -name $SEARCH Commented May 2, 2020 at 14:16
  • It would be convenient to keep the pipe going. :D Commented May 2, 2020 at 14:21
  • Show us what you have. Don't describe it. Commented May 2, 2020 at 14:25
  • It would be an overkill to show my whole script thus I narrowed it down to the problem itself. Besides, the question is pretty simple by any standard. Commented May 2, 2020 at 14:26
