I just noticed a difference in behavior between Cygwin's "find" and the one in Linux, or so it seems.I was trying to locate files smaller than a given size, and thus ran find . -size -4000c That worked, and listed the file names only for files< 4000 bytes in size. But if I run find . -size -4000c -exec ls -l {} \; it turns out that *all* files are listed!
Looks like the problem is that find returns directories. Try "find -type f -size -4000c -ls" (yes, find already has ls built in, no need to use exec). -- René Berber -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
