Basically I would like to do a 'ls -l' recursively showing only those directories named web. How would I accomplish that?

  1. ls -lR | grep -w web

    -R List subdirectories recursively
    -w Select only those lines containing matches that form whole words.

    $ find /path/to/files -name "web* -type d | xargs ls -la
