# Finding

Let's consider you are looking for a file named `letter182.abw` somewhere in your CD stack.

First launch GTKtalog and open your previously saved catalog with the file menu : File->Recent files->Your file or File->Open (if you cannot find that catalog in the recent files list. GTKtalog displays an activity bar (not a progress bar) in the lower right corner to indicate that it is loading the catalog file.

Click on the "Find File" button of the toolbar. Type the file name you wish to search for ( `letter182.abw`). If you don't know the exact name of the file you are searching for please see Chapter 8.

Click on "Start Search". In the results list, you can find the location of this file inside the catalog along with some additional information. In order to get this file back on your hard drive you only need to insert the CD and copy the file with your favorite file manager (Gnome Midnight Commander, Nautilus, Shell Command ...).
