Ok, are you trying to pull our chain here??? Which version of Linux? I have tried your example on CentOS release 4.2 (Final), and CentOS release 5.5 (Final), and it gives me this # grep -l mail $(find -name *.php) find: paths must precede expression Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression] and it just sits there waiting for input, just like grep would if I did this # grep -l mail I have to surround the name value in quotes to make it work. Like so... # grep -l mail $(find -name "*.php") So, please, within what version of Linux does your example work? If you are going to give advice and want to contribute good working example code to the archives of this mailing list, please, for everybody's benefit make sure the code example works as expected. Or, if it is to used as a guide to get the person thinking, say that. Jim Lucas -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
