Find files inside numbered directories












0















In the directory below I want the list of files nested inside numbered directories at depth 1, which in this case are 6 to 11.



$ ls *
1.org 2.MOV 3.MOV 4-1.MOV 5-1.mp4 5-2.MOV 5-2.org~ 9-2.MOV
1.org~ 2.org 3.org 4-1.org 5-1.org 5-2.org 9-1.MOV

10:
10.mp4

11:
11.MOV

6:
6.mp4

7:
7.MOV

8:
8.MOV


For example, I want 6.mp4 to be returned, not 2.MOV. First attempt (I know it is imperfect as it leaves out 10 11). I tried using depth but there a positional problems.



$ find . -type f -path [^0-9]/* 
./11/11.MOV
./5-1.mp4
./5-1.org
./4-1.MOV
./10/10.mp4
./7/7.MOV
./2.org
./3.org
./2.MOV
./5-2.org
./3.MOV
./5-2.org~
./5-2.MOV
./1.org
./1.org~
./8/8.MOV
./4-1.org
./9-2.MOV
./9-1.MOV
./6/6.mp4
