You can add to the list: Extended globbing: zsh has globbing qualifiers that make find almost unnecessary, to test on the file size, type, etc. For example: find all broken links: *(@-@); all empty files: *(L0); all recent (2 hours) plain word-readable files: *(.Rmh-2). Temporary file process substitution: =(command) is like <(command), but with a temp file instead of a pipe in /dev/fd, for commands that like real files. HTH. Regards, -- Nicolas George
