I am reading a list of directories from a file, and then listing all of the files in the directory to a file. Here is the code. #!/usr/local/bin/bash cat ${FILELIST} | while read LINE do echo ${LINE} `find ${LINE} -type f >> ${TMPFILE}` done Here is the output. /usr/home/windowsaccess find: illegal option -- t find: illegal option -- y find: illegal option -- p find: illegal option -- e find: f: No such file or directory Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
