Well find will get on your case if you mix paths and predicates anyway. So they should have done what sed and awk do and made expression a string passed either as first parameter or as an argument to the an -e switch. Because find is a little language every bit as much as sed, if not awk. It just quite doesn't want to think of itself that way. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
