Re: One liner for finding a file

chdir( '/directory/to/search' );

$a_strFilenames = glob( '*footer*' );

if( count( $a_strFilenames ) == 1 )
{
print "Found '" . $a_strFilenames[ 0 ] . "'\n";
}
else
{
print "Something's wrong: no file found, or more than one match.\n";
}

The OP wants the complete path, so this would work better:

list($path) = glob('/directory/to/search/*footer*');
