https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229481 Bug ID: 229481 Summary: find(1) fails to expand {} with preceding/following non-whitespace, as specified by man page Product: Base System Version: 11.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: stilezy@gmail.com Expected behaviour (from "man find"): "Historic implementations of the -exec and -ok primaries did not replace the string '{}' in the utility name or the utility arguments if it had preceding or following non-whitespace characters. This version replaces it no matter where in the utility name or arguments it appears." However this doesn't seem to be the case with execdir or exec. Example 1: # /usr/bin/find . -maxdepth 1 -exec echo "(result):" {} \; (result): . (result): ./dir 1 (result): ./dir 2 (result): ./dir 3 # /usr/bin/find . -maxdepth 1 -exec echo "(result):"{} \; (result): (result): (result): (result): However it does seem to work correctly within quotes. Example 2: # /usr/bin/find . -maxdepth 1 -execdir echo "RENAMED_FROM_{}" \; RENAMED_FROM_. RENAMED_FROM_dir 1 RENAMED_FROM_dir 2 RENAMED_FROM_dir 3 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
