This may not be relevant for your situation, but just in case... It's not unusual to pipe the output of find to the xargs command. One thing to watch out for when doing this is filenames that contain spaces. A pipe like this will have problems if any of the filenames contain spaces: find . -name '*.txt' | xargs grep foo
To deal with spaces in filenames, the command needs to be changed to this: find . -name '*.txt' -print0 | xargs -0 grep foo -- Galen Seitz [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
