Not a bug in find, but in your usage. You forgot to use proper shell quoting. So you ended up executing: find . -iname BonAirPainting vs. find . -iname 'bon*' when you REALLy wanted to execute: find . -iname 'Bon*' in the first instance. To prove this, rewrite your command lines to: echo find . -iname Bon* echo find . -iname bon* and also play with what happens when you do: touch bon1 bon2 and watch the behavior change yet again into a syntax error when you use insufficient quoting. Remember, find is one of the (few) programs where you WANT to let 'find' do glob expansion, rather than the shell, making it important to always quote the arguments so that the shell doesn't prematurely expand things. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
