No, -depth switches *to* depth-first processing. The default is pre-order traversal, which means that a directory is processed before its contents, but is not quite the same as breadth-first processing (breadth-first would require all directories at the same level to be processed before any of their contents). So either the original poster was confused or has a broken find command (or perhaps an alias that automatically adds -depth). -Larry Jones This game lends itself to certain abuses. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
