It'll also fail if the glob expands to too many arguments. Generally if you're using find, its to get around limitations with argv lengths, ls output, coping with spaces/odd chars in names, etc., so avoiding a glob in the find call is probably worth it. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
