I'm looking for a way to search certain files named "XYHello.pdf" or "BDHello.pdf" so basically "*Hello.pdf" in a directory with subfolder and export the found files including path to the file in a text file.

So that at the end I have a list with all found files including the paths in a list. I spontaneously thought about Linux Command find. 

find . -type f -iname "*Hello.pdf"

But the problem is i need the full path to the file in a list.

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's not a programming question, but about the use of a linux standard tool. As such it's best off at https://unix.stackexchange.com – tink Nov 30 '18 at 09:18
  • that said: if you replace your `.` with `$PWD` `find` will give you the full path ;) – tink Nov 30 '18 at 09:19
  • Please allow us to Google that for you: [find file show full path](https://www.google.com/search?q=find+file+show+full+path). And then the first hit: [How can I list files with their absolute path in linux?](https://stackoverflow.com/q/246215/608639) – jww Nov 30 '18 at 11:59
