Hi People,
Find does not seem able to search the /cygdrive/c directory.
example:
$ find /cygdrive/c -iname \*Telus\* -print
find: .: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/AUTOEXEC.BAT: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/AVG7QT.DAT: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/boot.ini: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/Config.Msi: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/CONFIG.SYS: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/cygwin: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/cygwin.disk: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/hpfr3600.log: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/IO.SYS: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/MSDOS.SYS: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/NTDETECT.COM: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/ntldr: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/pagefile.sys: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/Program Files: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/RECYCLER: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/System Volume Information: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/Temp: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS: No such file or directory
$
Whereas the following does work;
$ find /cygdrive/c/Temp -iname \*Telus\* -print
/cygdrive/c/Temp/telus
$
or:
$ cd /cygdrive/c
$ find . -iname \*Telus\* -print
./cygwin/home/jim/backup/maggie/Favorites/my account myTELUS.url
./cygwin/home/jim/telus
./Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/TELUS
./Documents and Settings/jim/Cookies/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
There was lots more
I get the impression that /cygdrive/c is not a real directory.
The version of find I was using is:
$ find -version
GNU find version 4.2.25
Features enabled: LEAF_OPTIMISATION
$
Thanks in advance.
Jim
