Follow-up Comment #1, bug #55272 (project findutils): grrr. savanah swallowed half of the bug-report. Rich-text without preview suck.
Anyway find . -name phc/\*.tex The output is: find: warning: Unix filenames usually don't contain slashes (though pathnames do). That means that '-name `phc/*.tex'' will probably evaluate to false all the time on this system. You might find the '-wholename' test more useful, or perhaps '-samefile'. Alternatively, if you are using GNU grep, you could use 'find ... -print0 | grep -FzZ `phc/*.tex''. However, the backtick has special meaning in bash, and thus should be replaced with a single quote in the second and the last lines of the error message. I.e., the error message should suggest to run find ... -print0 | grep -FzZ 'phc/*.tex' ---- How about using quoting_style = c_quoting_style? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55272> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
