Just to answer you I tried it (I am actually not using find-dired myself):
M-x find-dired
Run find in directory: YOUR-DIR
Run find (with args): -name YOUR-FILE
It worked for me - so I learned something ;-)
I get this result:
c:/Scott/:
find . "(" -name test ")" -exec ls -ld "{}" ";"
Access denied - .
File not found - -NAME
File not found - TEST
...
find exited abnormally with code 1 at Fri Sep 28 15:44:36
This output is from the Windows find.exe program, not the gnuwin32 port
of the unix find program.
So there must be some problem with the path. I wonder if I have made a
mistake there. Could you please do
F1 v
Describe variable: w32shell-shell
and tell me the value of that variable?
I thought the default value was 'cmd but it seems to be nil. Can you set
the value through Custom:
M-x customize-variable
Click on "Value Menu" and choose cmd.exe.
Then either click on either "set for current session" or
"save for future sessions".
Then true M-x find-dired again.
2 - directory for file containing "string"
Try lgrep or rgrep:
M-x lgrep
Search for (default "bla"): YOUR-STRING
That works for me, but I get the following error 16 times in
*Compile-Log* when I type M-x lgrepRET:
Warning: `error' called with 1 args to fill 0 format field(s)
Sorry, I do not understand. Please try to explain again.
Thank you,
Scott
