**vfind** has 2 mandatory arguments, the *path* of subtree from which to begin the search and the *search* pattern (a regexp) **vfind** has 2 mandatory arguments, the *path* of subtree from which to begin the search and the *search* pattern.
The **search** pattern can be:
- an expression whith wild card supporting the shell expansion, the default
- a regular expression, using the flag -re
The only thing that needs to be remembered is to wrap in double quote the regular expression in conjunction with the **-re** flag
when you choose to use it, for example:
``` ```
vfind ~/nerd_tree/ "(.*)rem(.*)" vfind ~/nerd_tree/ -re "(.*)rem(.*)"
``` ```
all items matching the pattern are show in the result tree: in this specific case any name containing **rem** substring<br /> all items matching the pattern are show in the result tree: in this specific case any name containing **rem** substring<br />
The same results above can be achieved using the command version with the shell expansion:
```
vfind ~/nerd_tree/ *rem*
```
You can use as pattern any valid regular expression, for example pattern as this You can use as pattern any valid regular expression, for example pattern as this
``` ```
vfind ~/nerd_tree/ "(.*)rem|tree(.*)" vfind ~/nerd_tree/ -re "(.*)rem|tree(.*)"
``` ```
The folder matching the pattern are show collapsed with information about the total number of files and the size of the subtree. The folder matching the pattern are show collapsed with information about the total number of files and the size of the subtree.
If you want to show the subtree expanded you can use the flag **-s** If you want to show the subtree expanded you can use the flag **-s**

vfind ~/nerd_tree/ "(.*)rem(.*)" -s vfind ~/nerd_tree/ -re "(.*)rem(.*)" -s
