• What to use : find

• The output should be exactly like the example below but with the expected name

./folder3/asd
./folder3/sub-folder4/abc
./folder3/sub-folder4/a_correct

Hints

find command is used to search and locate the list of files and directories based on conditions you specify for files that match the arguments:

$find ~/
<all files and folders in the user home>
$find ~/ \( -type f \)
<all files in the user home>
$

You may need to use pipes (|) and the logical operator &&.

You have to use Man or Google to know more about commands flags, in order to solve this exercise! Google and Man will be your friends!
