Reminds me to reading man pages more often :) -print0 True; print the full file name on the standard output, followed by a null character (instead of the newline character that ‘-print’ uses). This allows file names that contain newlines or other types of white space to be correctly interpreted by programs that process the find output. This option corresponds to the ‘-0’ option of xargs. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 06:19:01 up 1:07, 2.6.22-14-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org The real challenge of teaching is getting your students motivated to learn. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
