After I startup with cygwin.bat I am put into the /home/user directory. If I try to do any of the commands: find . -iname *.c find -iname *.c find / -iname *.c
I get the following: find: paths must precede expression Usage: find [path...] [expression] If I enter: find *.c it works OK, but not recursively (as I found out in a 2nd pass on the test). I made a subdirectory of "user"; copied some files; and cd'ed to it and entered: find . -iname *.c it works fine. If I cd to / and enter find . -iname *.c it displays some results, but if I cd to usr and issue the same command I get more results than I got in the "higher" / directory. But doesn't this mean that find is not working recursively as it should ? However under "/" I changed the command to find / -iname '*.c' and it worked as I expected. Thus emboldened, I cd'ed to ~ and tried find . -iname '*.c' and it worked fine. This is not really a problem, I guess, but it is curious. Also I may not be interpreting the meaning of the find command properly. Any comments ? Paul T. Karch
