I have run into issues with "-print" and "xargs"... spaces in filenames... Doesn't happen much when dealing with source code (.c .cs .h), but it happens a lot when dealing with music and documents from Windows/Mac users. find . \( -name '*.cs' -o -name '*.c' -o -name '*.h' \) -print0 | xargs -0 grep blah :) -- Mr. Flibble King of the Potato People http://www.linkedin.com/in/RobertLanning _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
