Re: [Plug] find command


Its being dumb and taking the * as a literal character. Quote the
string if you're putting any kind of expression in it. This really
confused me the first few times I tried to do it.

find / -name "httpd*" -print

That will work.

I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
