Wrap your lines. > I think the syntax would look like: > find "C:/path/to/desktop/images" -iname "*.jpg" -print0 | xargs -0 <some > command to open these files> > > I don't know what should be substituted for <some command to open these > files>. Any ideas? It seems you already know the name of the folder containing the images, so it's rather trivial: cygstart $USERPROFILE/Desktop/images/*.jpg If the images are in sub folders you could use zsh or find: cygstart $USERPROFILE/Desktop/images/**/*.jpg -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
