Most find commands are broken. The chance of a someone writing a reasonably complex but correct find command after reading, say, just the man page are pretty close to zero. In fact I'd say 'find' itself is pretty broken: 1. the options are non-posix (single - for long word) 2. the file args come before the options, not after Also the -prune function and the fact that you have to escape the ; at the end of the command but not the whole command pretty much bewilders everyone on first sight. -- Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
