James.

Free software amazes me! "Commercial" companies, for all the headache they cause, never respond this quickly, I don't think.

For what it's worth, I never had trouble with -name.

I was pretty tired and Perl scripting. The find man page said "wholename, pattern, match" and my brain just confused the whole thing with "regex patterns".

Very frequently, all I need for documentation is several good solid examples. The rest of the man pages is often a lot of noise.
man pages lack examples, and that's a big void specially for newcomers.

In this case, the man page had _exactly_ the right example, and I was totally confused... my own fault, entirely.

Reza.
