I think doing it the other way around will just use -print0 on everything since no criteria yet specified and then apply the filter and then probably do nothing as an action has already been specified (hence no implicite -print at the end). Well more so, find seems to stop at the first action: martin@merkaba:~/Zeit> mkdir find-Test martin@merkaba:~/Zeit> cd find-Test martin@merkaba:~/Zeit/find-Test> ls martin@merkaba:~/Zeit/find-Test> mkdir dir martin@merkaba:~/Zeit/find-Test> touch file martin@merkaba:~/Zeit/find-Test> touch anotherfile martin@merkaba:~/Zeit/find-Test> find -type d -print -name "file" -printf "%s %p" -name "anotherfile" -print0 . ./dir ;) -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
