Update of bug #13098 (project findutils): Item Group: None => Wrong result Status: None => Invalid Assigned to: None => jay Open/Closed: Open => Closed _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #1: The -name test takes only one argument. In your command line, the shell is expanding the *s* into more than one argument before the find command is run. Therefore you get the error you see. You should either escape any shell metacharacters in the -name argument or enclose that argument in quotes. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=13098> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
