Anybody got a quick solution to how to use xargs in corp with, say, find and ls when there's more chars than xarg (see -s) likes for a single run?
eg if I run find . -name 'me*' -print | xargs ls -altd and find gives more than circa 20k chars then it appears that ls is run multiple times with the output concat-ed ie you get groups of date sorted files rather than a single list of date sorted files... (giving xargs the '-x' aborts the above cmd indicating find returns more chars than xargs can handle on a single run)... ta, michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
