I suspect that the issue you are seeing is not a bug in upstream findutils, but rather in your downstream port. Windows does not do globbing the same way as Unix, so any windows port has to do some magic to convert the command line you typed into the actual argv[] that the rest of the code base is expecting; I'd guess that there is a bug in gnuwin's wrapper around findutils' main() where gnuwin code is incorrectly expanding the quoted glob in a manner that prevents the command from working the way you wanted. > this is used in gnuwin32 (GNU utils for windows). Therefore, you are better off reporting your bug there, because we don't maintain the windows port here. > > it is broken, please fix. thanks. also, it is very very slow on windows > (cygwin). Cygwin is a different port than gnuwin32; but the same caveat applies - you are better off reporting your bug to the downstream port than here. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
