> Andreas, Thanks a lot. Is there a way to search in specific directories?

Sure.
Specify the directory following "find"

i.e. find .

assumes the current directory, so try

find ./main/source

find ./main/headers/

etc.

or do some scripting like

for i in "./main/source" "./main/headers/" "./main/something1" "./main/something2"; do

...

done
