Hello, i have the following problem with find:
________________________________________________________________________
$ tree -F --noreport
..
├── test/
└── TEST01
$ find . -regex ".*TEST01" -execdir mv '{}' test \;
$ tree -F --noreport
..
└── test/
└── test
________________________________________________________________________
The expected result would be:
└── test/
└── TEST01
I am not 100% sure this qualify as a bug, nevertheless:
I get the expected result in Squeeze and Slackware 13.37. And following
a discussion on debian-user-french list, at least one person has
confirmed the problem and another gets the expected result, both using
Sid with bash-4.1-3 (debian package). The persone getting the expected
result has the same findutils version as mine, while the person
confirming the problem has findutils 4.5.8-1.
We have not been abble to determine what difference in our systems could
cause the difference in "find" behavior, for the exact same command.
Some things I have tried which does not solve the problem:
1) $ LANG=en find . -regex...
2) run the same command under ZSH.
3) run the same command under a new and clean user account
Workarounds:
$ find . -regex ".*TEST01" -execdir mv -t test '{}' \;
$ find . -maxdepth 1 -regex ".*TEST01" -execdir mv '{}' test \;
Best regards,
Alexandre
