I'm running this version of Cygwin:
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 den-aet-xpw002 1.5.5(0.94/3/2) 2003-09-20 16:31 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin
on Windows XP Pro.
On Linux, I use the "-r" flag to search for regular expressions as shown
below:
$ locate --version
GNU locate version 4.1.7
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ locate -r "test.*xls"
locate: invalid option -- r
Usage: locate [-d path | --database=path] [-e | --existing]
[-i | --ignore-case] [--version] [--help] pattern...
Is there any reason why the version of "locate" in Cygwin doesn't support
this? Is it a limitation of Microsoft's NTFS file system?
Thanks.
