Yes. But to be clear, one of the lines in the input file is blank,
which means that find is run as
find -type f
which is incorrect; it will be treated as "run find with the -t,
-y, -p, and -e flags in the directory f".
(find's syntax is:
find [ optional flags ] [ required places to search ]
[ optional rules to filter out the things you dont want]
By having the places-to-search variable be blank, the shell doesn't
pass anythin to find, causing the optional rules to be interpreted
as the optional flags - and the syntax isn't correct.
