Follow-up Comment #4, bug #62255 (project findutils): Hi: I was having the same problem, started debugging and then realized that it is just a matter of wildcard expansion within bash.
Meaning, if e.g. I have a file called 'compactfile.txt' and 'Compactfile2.file', and I do 'find -iname compact*', bash will expand 'compact*' to 'compactfile.txt' so the search will be _very_ different to what you expect. If you just put the search item within quotes or double quotes, it works. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62255> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
