Terminal>> Remove filename from 'find' output

[enthdegree]

##Halooah. Just a quick question: is there any way that I can omit the filename ##from the output of 'find'?
EEe.g. I type in:

'find / -name somefile.file -oPtIoNs'

and the output is:

/home/enthdegree/Desktop/misc/

as opposed to:

/home/enthdegree/Desktop/misc/somefile.file

I'm writing a backup script for xPud, so I kind of need to be able to do this from the terminal.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Scratch that. I found out that I can just use the 'dirname' command.

Now I seem to have run into another problem; Is there any way I can take the output of one command and, after that command has completed, slap it onto the end of the next command?
Thanks.

Put the command you want to paste the output of inside back-quotes:

do_something `another_cmd`

This will take the output of another_cmd and pass that to the do_something command. Is that what you were looking for?

Yes, that seems to be what I was looking for, thanks. But I seem to have found a workaround for my script.
Still good to know!
