True, but any file the user is expected to edit, such as a configuration file, should not show up in "port contents". (If it does, it is a bug in the port.) Sample configuration files, however, if there are any, would show up. > If you know the name of the file you are looking for, a `sudo find /opt/local > -name "the-filename-pattern"` where "the-filename-pattern" can be a regular > expression, so to find all ini files, it would be "*.ini" or just look for > the exact filename "gnuplot.ini" ( `sudo find /opt/local -name "gnuplot.ini"` > ) Actually, "find" takes a glob pattern; regular expression syntax is different from glob syntax. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
