Is there a command that will tell me if a file exists and if so where it
can be found? 

I have been using "ls -R |grep filename" to determine if a file exists but
the 
trouble is if it does this command fails to tell me where it is. 

I am running 2.2.2. 

Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Thanks, 

Craig
