Using that database is suggesting that for *my particular case* "find" may be more appropriate as I'm only interested in files and directories under /home/ richard . It would be even better if hidden files and directories were ignored.
locate can handle regular expressions, for example: $ locate -r '^/home/richard/' lists all sub-directories and files in /home/richard/ Regards, Jörg.
