Well, if you've ever done something like
echo `find . -type f` >files.txt
(that's an example...... :) ; wildcarding can also do it since the UNIX
shells expand your wildcards before executing.....)
Yes, but anything like that is going to fail at some point - in that
specific case:
find . -type f -exec echo {} >> files.txt \;
would probably do what you are looking for, otherwise there is always xargs.
