Você não pode usar if
dentro de uma ação -exec
do comando find
da maneira que desejar. Isso pelas seguintes razões:
- A ação
-exec
espera um comando . Isso é deman find
(em algum lugar na linha 697 no meu terminal):
-exec command ;
Execute command; true if 0 status is returned. All following
arguments to find are taken to be arguments to the command until
an argument consisting of ';' is encountered. The string '{}'
is replaced by the current file name being processed everywhere
it occurs in the arguments to the command, not just in arguments
where it is alone, as in some versions of find. Both of these
constructions might need to be escaped (with a '\') or quoted to
protect them from expansion by the shell. See the EXAMPLES sec‐
tion for examples of the use of the -exec option. The specified
command is run once for each matched file. The command is exe‐
cuted in the starting directory. There are unavoidable secu‐
rity problems surrounding use of the -exec action; you should
use the -execdir option instead.
-exec command {} +
This variant of the -exec action runs the specified command on
the selected files, but the command line is built by appending
each selected file name at the end; the total number of invoca‐
tions of the command will be much less than the number of
matched files. The command line is built in much the same way
that xargs builds its command lines. Only one instance of '{}'
is allowed within the command. The command is executed in the
starting directory.

if
é não um comando que você acha, mas uma palavra-chave do shell . Veja a saída do comandotype if
.
Agora, para realizar o que você deseja, você realmente não precisa usar if
dentro de -exec
. Apenas faça o teste dentro de -exec
, então use -print
(veja man find
para mais informações):
find . -name '*.text' -exec $SHELL -c '[ ! -f ${1%.*} ]' $SHELL '{}' ';' -print
Outra maneira seria usar um script bash, como segue:
find . -name '*.text' -exec my_if {} \;
em que cat ~/bin/my_if
fornece a seguinte saída no meu caso:
#!/bin/bash
if [ ! -f $(basename -s .text "") ]; then echo ""; fi
Finalmente, acho que todas as pessoas normais que usam o bash usariam:
for f in *.text; do if [ ! -f $(basename -s .text "$f") ]; then echo "$f"; fi; done
