I guess this may not be all you want, for example, if you want to search files in ~/src, now you got a file in ~/src/abc/def/.
Then your current directory is ~/src/abc/def/. and when you need to search within ~/src again to find something in ~/src/ghi/jkl/., how to do that? I recommend a probably better approach, just create a filelist inside the ~/src, you can use the following command to create the file list: in ~/src: find . > filelist okay, now each time you want to search for file, just open the filelist, and search for the filename, when you've got the desired file, use gf to open the file. You can also map a shortcut-key to open the filelist. for example: I use <f12> to open the file list, press <f12> and now the filelist opens. use /foobar.txt and press enter to search for the file, if the file has multiple occorences, press n. when you've got the file, press gf and the file will be opened. -- Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu. ext: 2606 "Zheng Da" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 写于 2006-10-16 22:24:47: > I have used your script, but it can't content me. > I want to find the file under the current dir, its subdir or maybe its > sub-subdir.
